Speed 2 - perfect

Speed 1 - too slow

Varying the speed of the motor

The motor itself produces a speed far too fast for the movement I require, therefore I need to use gears (in their more natural environment) to slow down the motion. This can be done in ratios using various gear arrangements.

Nudism development

Critical prototypes development

Print will sit beneath the upper arm just under the armpit as it is the area on our body which generates the most heat and is therefore most likely to cause the thermal ink to disappear.

The TUT TUT TUT logo is designed to mimic the barcode to reflect the original design concept.

Vowels

CRIT FEEDBACK

Look at: Type and Typography - Phil Baines

Breaking down concept:

- System to communicate vowels

- What is the use/purpose?

- How do you bring it into a real world context?

We looked at the phonetic alphabet notifications and decided the current notations were unclear and need to be 'learnt' to understand. My mechanical version of the phonetic vowel notation can be understood by anyone without having to have pre-existing knowledge of them. It is more of an immediate solution - anyone can copy the movement and sound out the vowel.

Mark making using the movement should be explored but instead of a linear felt tip a paintbrush/calligraphy pen could be used to maintain the difference in speed and sharpness of movement.

The chair that models itself in the image of Kafka's modern anti-hero is, by means of its appellation, also a Monument to the Isms. The author of this work, British artist Theo Kaccoufa, explains that the title acknowledges the 20th century art movements that were 'once vigorous creatures roaming the earth' and which now 'occasionally kick and struggle to regain their footing'. In manifesting this art historical critique in the ultimate image of alienation, mixed metaphors of metamorphosis abound: where Kafka begins his novella with the ridiculous but resonant proclamation that a man is now a large insect, Kaccoufa conjures the equally contentious proposal that artistic movements are an endangered species victim to the dialectical dangers of historical negation. These bold statements about modernity are brought to bear, remarkably, by a piece of furniture; that which is understood to be neither animate, nor driven by momentum, in accordance with the ascensional logic of (art-) history.
