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.

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.

COULD BE USED TO AID SPELLING, ESPECIALLY WITH DYSLEXIC PEOPLE?
