Work in Progress










My final project is going to be a commentary on the thought of someones "dream car" and the reality of how much time and money it involves. Everyone wants a dream car, built to their specs and with the colors and style they want. They all think that as long as they have enough money or the drive, they can built it with no issues. They are wrong though because there is hours, day, weeks, and months involved in building a car.
I will be posting my car, how it come off the lot, next to a series of other photos. The other photos will be objects that I would put onto my car to make it the way I dream it as. I will put the photos of the bodykit, rims, exhaust, paint, engine, and other mods next to my original car. I will post the prices of each item and the time involved in the setup of the parts.
I would love to know what you all think of my idea/ what needs improvement.

  1. Hi Austin,
    It will be interesting to see your car "as is" next to the items needed to build your dream car. It will be intriguing to see not only the desirable objects but also the cost of each object and the time investment needed. It will cause me to think about what I spend money and time on and why. The project will speak towards the notion of desire…In this case, the desire to have a better car, and the energy that one will put towards trying to fulfill that desire.
    Will the prices/time involved be printed on the same canvas as the objects? Will the total cost/time be displayed too?
    It may be useful to start with a sketch of the entire layout before you start printing.

  2. Austin,
    great idea! I know from conversations we have had during the semester this is a subject you have a great deal of passion about. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
