Object refinement. During the speed dating sessions i received an overwhelming response to my snake shoes and how it would likely be the best candidate for this assignment. I chose to stick with this despite my love for the tooth piano. People believed that the object had the best potential to progress forward to the next few steps and i suppose i agreed with them. The majority of people said i should make the snakes loop back and forth like an actual shoe lace so i decided to give that a go. I must say i am not super pleased  with it and think its a bit of a flop but spending the past week on it with little to no improvement has made me wave the white flag at this. I think next time i would keep it to just one snake or lace the shoes differently as i believe its way too crowded and just bad to look at.  I believe  that this concept relates to the idea of remix culture through the combination of two separate entities to make a product.

         For this assignment i was inspired by Chris Bangle, a former design director for BMW. He spoke of vehicles and their designs and impacts on the world. Specifically on what their position in our lives can be. He states they can lead a life that fades into the back ground and merely act as a means of transportation, or one that stands out and has an assertive position on the roads. Throughout the film, it is stated that the best designs are designs that outlast the aesthetic changes and stick around as long as possible. With these two opinions in mind i decided to try my hand in making a Ferrari. A vehicle that has been prevalent in the sports car community since 1947. While the designs on these vehicles have faced changes they all maintain the same feel throughout the decades since its conception.
