Tool Montage Post

Thoughts:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I found this project to be different from what I usually do, but at the same time enjoyable and interesting. The process itself was fun to do, especially sketching out the tool combinations. Being able to get with another person to create the mind maps, helped expand our ideas and made it easier to pick out what I wanted to create on the thumbnails.

Mind Map:

This is one out of three of the mind maps that me and my partner created. This one seemed to have the most ideas on it.

Tool Combinations:

1. Sharpie + Drill
2. Paper clip + Button
3. Broom + Eels
4. Keys + Knife
5. Pen + Nails
6. Spoon + Scissors
7. Button + Soda can
8. Ruler + Hammer
9. Fork + Panda
10. Carrot + Wires
11. Shark + Magnets
12. Compass + Headphones
13. Chalk + Cheese
14. Hamburger + Elevator
15. Box + Bulldozer
16. Paintbrush + Shoes
17. Sunglasses + Socks
18. Sun + Cigarettes
19. Needle + Arrows
20. Train + Phone
21. Butter + Hose
22. Cage + Bowl
23. Mushroom + Toilet
24. Birdhouse + Marble
25. Puzzle + Plate

Top Ten Tool Choices:

• Sharpie + Drill – This would be a fun combination to draw because right away I thought of a sharpie where the drill bit would go.
• Broom + Eels – I thought since eels are wet and slippery, it would be cool to make a broom that could slide across the floor and clean by itself.
• Keys + Knife – I thought of a sharp object that could protect you, cut your meals, and at the same time get you into your house.
• Pen + Nails – I thought this would be easy to create but at the same time a useful tool to have around.
• Spoon + Scissors – I thought of creating a multi-tool that could be useful but weird at the same time.
• Ruler + Hammer – being able to have a ruler to measure out where the nails should be placed, and then having a hammer right in your hand to hammer them in
• Shark + Magnets – I thought it would be fun because it would attract more fish to feed the shark.
• Compass + Headphones – Right away I thought of the headphones being the arrows to the compass
• Hamburger + Elevator – I thought this would be fun to do because who doesn’t want to ride in style.
• Mushroom + Toilet – I thought it would be fun to create something funny, but at the same time “stylish”.

Thumbnails:

These are only a few of the thumbnails that I created out of 30.
