“I’m learning KeyShot 3D,” industrial designer Burkay Gursoy wrote in an Instagram post, “and I like trying interesting things while learning.” Thus he rendered up a fanciful design for a Copic marker with RGB sliders:
Gursoy meant it as a joke, writing “I think this design solves our biggest problem ?? ”
What’s more hilarious is that other design blogs are taking the design seriously, with one calling it “genius” and saying “it truly solves our woes,” with another writing “from full to faded, you can shift the copic marker’s red, green and blue sliders to find your perfect color.”
I can guarantee none of those writers have ever done a marker rendering. Exactly how do you mix red, green and blue to produce yellow or orange?
RGB, as Gursoy and every designer knows, is a technique used for light, not pigments. RGB is how color televisions work. CMYK and tiny dots is how color printers work.
We should be thankful Gursoy’s an ethical guy; if he held a Kickstarter for this concept, he’d likely gain millions in ill-gotten pledges.
