Syd Mead is one of the most accomplished and widely respected artists and industrial designers alive today. His career boasts an incredible array of projects from designing cars to drafting architectural renderings, but he is most famous for his work as a concept artist on some of the most visually arresting films in the history of cinema. Since working on Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1978 as a production illustrator Syd Mead has always aimed to render "reality ahead of schedule," creating evocative designs that marry believable content with a neofuturistic form. It is this ability to predict technological potential that has helped Mead create such a distinctive and influential aesthetic. From his work with Ridley Scott on Blade Runner , to his striking designs for the light cycles in Tron , to his imposing concept art for the U.S.S. Sulaco in James Cameron's Aliens, Syd Mead has played a pivotal role in shaping cinema's vision of the future. The Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist represents the most extensive collection of Mead's visionary work ever printed, compiling hundreds of images, sketches and concept arts from a career spanning almost 40 years, many of which have never been seen in print before. Each entry provides a unique insight into the processes involved in Mead's practice as well as illuminating the behind-the-scenes work involved in creating a fully realized, cinematic depiction of the future. With such a plethora of images from the many genre-defining films Mead has worked on, this is essential reading for film fans, artists and futurologists alike.

Luxuriously Soft & Cooling, But Needs a Wider Opening
Color: 03 - Champagne, Size: Queen, Color: 03 - Champagne, Size: Queen
I really enjoy sleeping on the Beckham Hotel Collection Silk Pillowcase—it has such a silky, smooth feel that makes a noticeable difference in comfort. It feels wonderful against the skin and hair, and I especially love how it helps keep my head cool throughout the night, which leads to a restful sleep. The color choices are also wonderful and look very rich, adding a nice elegant touch to the bed. It’s also held up nicely in the wash, which is always a plus for something this delicate. That said, I’m giving it 4 stars because of the zipper opening design. You lose about 4 inches of usable space at the opening, which makes it harder than expected to insert a pillow. Unlike other zippered pillowcases I own, the ends don’t open wide enough, so I had to squeeze my pillow in—and I actually noticed the stitching starting to pull a bit because of it. A wider opening would make a big difference. Overall, it’s great to sleep on and feels luxurious, but for the price, I do think the design could be improved.

Best Pillow I’ve bought in a while
Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: King Size
Very comfy pillow. Holds up better than the last 7 I bought which went flat after a week. It also comes with extra fill which I have not had to use yet but overall very happy!

Cozy & Comfortable
Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: Queen/Standard Size
This pillow was a big surprise! Despite the size, it is so soft & comfortable. Being able to add & subtracting filling is wonderful. It's like having a custom pillow just for me. I am a stomach sleeper. I am able to cuddle the pillow & be very comfortable. Plus it recovers it's shape.

Overall a great pillow
Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: King Size, Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: King Size
I slept on it last night and I do think I’ll like it. I was used to a memory foam pillow, son this will be a change. My reason for 4 stars is because the zipper barely opens and my husband and I tried everything short of ruining the pillow. In the end I had to stuff extra stuffing into a pretty small hole. Nothing seems wrong with the zipper but I saw another review said they couldn’t add more filling. If they fix that issue then I’d rate it 5. Yes it is soft but it doesn’t go flat and if you adjust and add some more under your head it doesn’t shift. I do recommend if you like a plush pillow.
