After hours of messing around with blending modes and shuffling around different images, I'm finally starting to get really rich compositions that I'm happy with!

Project 1 Fantasy Appliance: Progress 1

 For my fantasy appliance project, I decided to go with a toaster. I had no particular reason for choosing it, and it took a little thinking to work out what I would combine it with. I started thinking about bread itself, and the process of creating it. One of the main ingredients of bread is flour, and that is milled from wheat using big machines. I got stuck on the thought of a bread machine for a while, and I thought about a funny way of portraying how bread and toast could be created. Cows eat a ton, and produce a lot of waste from their grazing in fields. And then it came to me: what if I had toaster cows grazing in wheat fields, and instead of creating waste, they created toast? I thought that was pretty clever, so I stuck with it and went to Illustrator with my toaster pictures.  If you go to my previous blog post, you can see the three toaster angles I captured for this project.

These pictures represent the maintenance stage, of the car's lifecycle, and would come after the dealership pictures found in the previous contact sheet I posted on this blog. I think these will work nicely for maintenance, but I'll have to get some more pictures for the washing, junkyard/repurposing, and driving portions of this project.
