Next I Shall... OUGD102

..gather some materials to start exploring the aesthetics of a motorbike to glamorise it.
>Toy Motorbike, preferably air-fix.
>Motor Oil
>Parts of the bike/small components to experiment with media.

I think it would be fun just to have a toy bike to play with and see what comes of it. I have had the idea of running a bike through some motor oil to see if the tyre tracks are imprinted on a variety of materials. I have gathered foam board, felt, different grades of paper and card. I have also got hold of some electrical components which will have to substitute for the motorbike parts for now. This is simply so i can experiment with mark making. Perhaps scanning, tracing, overlaying, imprinting in plaster scene, or even developing the negative of the parts in the dark room.

I think this next week will bring about some great results which i can pin down and take to the next design stage.

This is an instruction page for assembling a model spitfire. Thanks Adam for this, its really cool i like the layout as well, its really simple and clear. I have actually just been out and bought an air-fix model of a motorbike so this could be some really great development work now.
