Interesting blogs i came across...
While looking through some of my peers blog pages, i came across three that were of interest to me, and could relate to my project..
The first one was was on Tom Wards page (http://wardtdawg.blogspot.com). One of his three listed websites was www.psyop.tv/main.php. I found this website very interesting. Pysyop is an advertising company that makes advertisements for big companys such as Coke and Adidas. I liked this website because it was well designed, easy on the eye and all the videos were beautifully made. After watching afew of them it started to make me think differently (in a positive way) about the certain products being advertised. I can see why Tom was inspired from this website, as was I.
The second blog i found to be of interest was Dylan Shearer's blog (http://dylanshearer.blogspot.com). Although he was writing about a different project to mine, there were similarities with mine in the way he was experimenting with the circular motion and symetry. He was trying to achieve the same sort of thing in his photography as i was in my drawing.
The third blog was not so much a blog of interest to me, but more one i could relate to through the process she went through in order to achieve the final result. This was lisa Rademakers blog (http://www.lisarademakers.blogspot.com). She said "as challenging as this project was, it was possibly the most rewarding after all of the work put in". This relates back to the comment i made about putting in the effort really does pay off.

Websites that inspired my A+ project...
www.visualcomplexity.com was a website that inspired my project, both during the drawing part and also the model designing part. Being a website dedicated to displaying interesting forms of diagrams from many different artists, it was here i found two artist models of interest. 1) Christina Van Vleck and 2) Oli Laurelle. I found both these artisits way of displaying information in diagrams very inspring. I then extended my search on these artist which was when i found Christina Van Vlecks home page.http://cvanvleck.com/vanvleck_thesis.html
This page was about a specific exhibit she had done called "Information taking shape". Again i found very inspiring diagrams which i used ideas from in my diagram drawing.
When it came to the physical building of my model i hit a dead end on what materials to use. This was when i came across the Mitre 10 web site. http://www.mitre10.co.nz/.It was here that i was able to browse and look at possible materials i could use and experiment with. I found this site very to easy to use and extremly helpful as i knew exactly what i was going to buy when i went into the store.
Below are examples of Diagrams from my artist models Oli Laurelle, and Christina Van Vlecks:
