Blueprint designs

I have been working on these for quite some time. My concentration has been mainly on Fig 1. (boot machine) and Fig 2. (praxinoscope) while Faysal has been working on the transmission machine. The idea is to print the final designs on acetate and use cyanotype printing techniques to finalise them.

The designs have gone through many changes, which are documented in mine and Faysal's sketchbooks, and the finished designs can be seen below:









It was my concern to hand draw the blueprints on A3 paper, whilst Faysal scanned them in and worked on them using photoshop. I joined him after finishing all the drawing and James stepped in at the end adding a few final touches.

I am happy with how they have worked out and feel they meet our expectations and intended aesthetic of a cross between amateur and official.
