Smokey Robinson



Today we configured the base and background of our piece consisting of a smoke filled background with a rugid, used 18th/19th century feel to it taking inspiration from images found on Google Images & Photographers Direct as well as Stock Exchange and Getty Images.

Our final product is beginning to take shape and looks great. With a lack of time and resources I feel we've produced a quality piece of 3D typography. Instead of creating the bowl/oval shape we originally agree'd upon we're going to go for a pile of nails and bolts glued onto the base to create an illusion of the letter forms rising from the pile. We are also painting the newer nails using acrylic paints and the dry brush technique to create "rust"

Below is a sketch of what I would have liked to have seen if both time and resources were on our side;



This developed idea consisted of a half clog (to foreshadow the large scale of the Industrial Revolution) created using nails and bolts, keeping the project consistent with it's original idea and the original letter forms again, rising from the clog.
