A Vancouver Island graphic-design student has created a portrait of Canada’s 14th prime minister with 1,200 Rubik’s cubes.

Pearson College student Leo Yousif used graphic design technology to convert a photo of Lester B. Pearson into a pixilated image.

Sixty classmates then helped him manipulate the cubes so colours correspond to the image.

The piece stands seven feet tall and five feet wide and was unveiled Thursday on the 50th anniversary of Pearson becoming prime minister in 1963.
