After having a really productive one-to-one tutorial, I was able to be pushed in the right direction. An illustrator/wacky scientist Heath Robinson has been someone that has inspired me loads in this project. I got a few books out on his work, and every page was fascinating. His designs were so crazy and humorous, it made them almost believable. Obviously none of his designs went into manufacturing, but his aim of almost taking the mick out of technological advances that were so clearly changing and adapting the world he lived in, he succeeds in this! The mechanisms that he uses I want to incorporate in my own designs, however making them functional and operational, as well as looking insane and beautiful.
