Cartastrophe - Emily Week 7

The challenge this week was to make artwork using car parts. Hmmm… The home interpretation was a little bit different. We were allowed to use pictures of car parts as well. My interpretation was even more loose than that. I decided to use the names of car parts and make a word cloud. I used Wordle, which is an awesome site. Just for fun, this is a word cloud using the feed from this blog:


Lovely. For my project I used Wikipedia to look up a million car parts for my word cloud. (Because I can only name about 5...) I mixed up the colors and fonts a few times to get multiple layouts and then I printed them each out. From there I intensely labored to form each of these word clouds into an actual working and functioning car. Here is my final project:



I decided this project would be best suited to hang in a child’s bedroom. Or be made by a child to hang in a father’s office. Either way, incredible. Enjoy!
