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:
