-baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

_____________________________________________

We were told to expand further on our idea. So, more sheep were created.
Sheep are strange creatures. They decided to toy colour, texture and form.


We were given a few constrants and ideas. Two variants were needed, one emphasising the use of colour, the other with incoperation a "found object". Found object, an amazingly broad term, apparently widely used in the Monash Design Community? It means an existing object, that has already been made, modelled for another use; and we first year design students grab it and incoperate it into our work. Sort of like collaging.

It's all very silly in my book. Surely everything is creatured for another purpose then making sheep.

You can't really see this one properly. I made the sheep out of clear plastic pockets and stuffed their stomachs with cotton balls. Yes, there is a tree with a tyre swing and a fencing. Do you see? Can you look? At the BAa?

Going a little psychedelic with silly last minute inspiration from dear old Dr Seuss and his strange fishy books. Colour co-ordination to differienciate letter from letter. Purple grass because...why not?

Sheep sure are strange creatures.

strange shapes, sleep deprivation and the mysterious case of 4am make my photography skillz terrible.

-Odd.

_____________________________________________
Sometimes, I'm a little worried as to exactly what the first impression is that I'm giving people:
"You should meet my friend, he and you are so much alike. Sometimes I imagine what would happen if I locked you two in a room. You see, what I imagine, is that after an extend period of time, both of you will be wearing lampshades on your head, sitting cross legged on the floor, slapping the group and manically laughing." - Dave
Another one described me as:
"you're twisted.... but it's a nice kind of twist.... like being the only bent straw in the mcdonald's dispenser" - Stephen
I'm quite fond of times when people think I'm a little strange; but at which point should I start being terrible concerned?

.baa-

_____________________________________________

Ah yes, yet another Design project. This time we were given one week to complete it. Although, thankfully, no background research or developmental sketches were required. So, I dived head first into it.

This project was aptly named "Three letter word". We were to pick a three letter word, and some how represent it in a three dimensional form, using the principle of Letterform and only the use of planar materials. I was stuck with what word to choose for quite a while. But I settled for the bleat of a sheep: "baa".

The told us that planar materials are things that come in flat sheets, ranging from planks of bulsar wood to wire mesh. Me being me, the cheap one who would attempt to do every design project under the tiniest budget, decided to use cartridge paper.

There, Vola! It's done. Three sheep and a strange deranged tree. Do you see the world "baa". Someone said it was a bit far fetched; my excuse is that they gave me one week.

Having just been born, I decided to give the sheep a quick roam around the house before cementing their feet to a board.
