What people seem not to know when they look into this artwork for meaning is its usually outsourced to some design shop, with a request that's something like "we need a graphic this size, that has to be colorful, about music, movies, technology, and an apple logo".... No inside knowlege, no meaning. Just good design.

It reminds me of Adobe CS3 packages

It kid of reminds me of iLife and Apple usually uses those colors for iPod events like the one in the Fall...
If it weren't for that damn crane in the 3rd photo, it would make a nice wallpaper.

Id welcome that actually.
As an artist, pressure sensitivity is something Id value even more than a retina display.

Yes, Im reminded of Adobe as well. So Im hoping this announcement will cater in some way to artists, painters, creative types.
Great shots by the way. Thank you for posting them!
I doubt they would go for a total range of color but I could see them doing a limited edition RED model with the black and white

Why not, these are the same type of folks that will sit all night to be first at the store or at least stay up for preorders to start on line

Somewhat ironic that Apple builds transparent stores made of glass, but covers up all the glass at the Yerba Buena Center for their announcement.
It's a 'blackout' banner. Just like they do at the stores for some launches. That's also why it goes up 5 days ahead. gives them time to bring in whatever they need to set up their areas

This is a product keynote not a tent revival. Ben Stein could give it and it will still be amazing cause everyone will be talking about the products, not the presenter
----------
I want some different colors for sure. The Black, Red and Greys are fine, the tans okay. But those easter egg colors are so old. Give us some bolder colors like from the nanos a couple of years back.
If only the Keynote wasn't scheduled for 2am Perth time...
I could either get a good night's sleep or watch all of the goodness as it unfolds and potentially fall asleep at uni...

I actually had a dream about different color smart covers a few weeks back and I can confirm they look pretty cool, might photoshop them to see what they look like next to the iPad
Also, to everyone that thinks multiple colored iPads or there is something hidden in the banner, I don't think apple would ever consider doing different color iPads, first of all, they would look very weird, and then if you added, lets say the colors of the nano chromatic, you end up with 81 different models, which would be a pain to keep track of and for resellers that only have room for 100 or so. As to something hidden in the banner, I see an eye, but that could mean retina display, or its just there, not meaning anything. Apple has always done these colorful wallpapers for their iPad events.
I like that finished logo, but why did they hang yellow paper at all?
----------
There aren't that many colors to use when you want a colorful banner lol, I doubt it's a throw back to the Rainbow Apple logo.

Well, I'm also predicting something related to artists. This kind of screen resolution is paving way for serious graphic design Apps. Now that Steve Jobs is gone, they might finally listen to artists and release an optional stylus (with pressure sensitivity and palm rejection)!
I'm SOOOO hoping for a stylus to finally draw and design without paper anywhere. That would be a dream come true! If so, Wacom can kiss their Cintiq goodbye.

YAY! I knew the rainbow apple would return with Tim Cook
Ok but in all seriousness, I wish it would. I miss it.

Really great shots. The blue sky is an amazing shade.
