Instant Inspiration

This has been a fun, if badly timed, project.

The assignment for my digital print media class was to create and package a product that can be dispensed by vending machine. I picked those little toy vending machines that you can get some little trinket for 25 or 50 cents. So, I took a roll of quarters to safeway and bought myself 18 little glow in the dark aliens just to get the little plastic capsels they come in.

I am making 18 little sculptures out of sculpty clay to go into these capsels, each representing a different instant inspiration. Inside each capsel will go a little band with the name of the inspiration. Those inspirations are (in order) money, "you suck!", running shoes, depression, terror, David Bowie, chili peppers, pie, lightbulbs, music, love, television, food, a cardboard box, tequila, a '69 Cobra Jet, ponies, and death. Some can be taken as social commentary but mostly they're all just goofy and fun

A big thanks goes out to *ChiliSan and ~helekri for helping me brainstorm all my inspirations!

Created in Photoshop though it is vector. It's my first image that's almost entirely vector! Only the red background isn't vector because of the texture. This part took me about an hour and a half (with one Photoshop restart), the bands that go in the capsels took about an hour, and it will probably take me about 6 hours to do all the sculptures.
And, for the record, David Bowie is because someone in #trivia seems to think David Bowie is the answer to many questions. It amused me, therefore David Bowie is in here.
