The first person to discover Pulsars was Jocelyn Bell Burnell. My research into Bell and this project its on this developing MIRO board here: (Week 12 and 13 progress combined into one post) Below, developing the idea of a potential model of the Nobel Prize Medal but 'No-Bel' in reference to the quote from an interview with Jocelyn Bell Burnell; "My contemporaries were more upset about the Nobel than I was not to be recognised. One of them labelled it the ‘No-Bell’ prize!" 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of pulsars went to Antony Hewish (her thesis supervisor) and Martin Ryle. Describe what your model will communicate, what form it will take and your initial thoughts about making it. I hope for my model of the statue of Bell will communicate her excitement at the discovery she holds evidence of in her hands and attempt at least to capture the rest of the factors I list above.

"It’s now considered not such a great idea to drill holes through your priceless bones and then stand them up on display" - https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/aug/30/what-exhibits-in-a-museum-are-genuine These models are casts made from moulds of the bones using resin or rubber cement. A second benefit of using models of the skeletons rather than originals is to better convey the whole creature to the public; usually the remains are incomplete, with damage or both. Therefore, the bones too damaged to show can be reproduced whole for display ("from another animal or another bone of the same one"). In situations where the bones are so fragile that they can't be replicated through the casting process and there are no bones from other animals that are the same or similar, then the cast may have to be produced and altered to fit in the skeleton or made from scratch. In these cases the sculpture of the bone is designed based on educated assumptions from professionals with a good understanding of universal features of the species' anatomy, biology and evolution. These representations are to educate the public on the anatomy of these historic creatures accurately and safely, both for the museum attendees and the preservation of the fossils. The impact of seeing these in person can create a lasting impression and appreciation for history and science because of the scale of these creatures being unlike anything alive today.

Matches, of course, are symbolic of the fire and brings to mind sad mental images of how perilously flammable the creatures are.
This add does a great job of quickly visually communicating the problem and stirring sympathy in the viewer to potentially spur them into action and volunteer. Research references for this initial information:
'Short Circuit's Johnny 5 + Boy on toy digger = Pixar's Wall-E The robot character from this classic 1986 movie: the personality and iconic role he plays heavily influenced Wall-E's personality as well as design. The playful aspect of a children's toy, bright block colours and the playful aesthetic. Also, the toy rather than the actual utilitarian vehicle fits Wall-E's quirky and playful role. Beach bucket and spade + Idilic pink-hue-sunset on a beach with palm trees = Sand & Sky's 'Australian Pink Clay Smoothing Body Sand' (exfoliator) Combined the playful aesthetic of a children's bucket and sand typically used on a fun day at the beach with a Paradise-esc image of a relaxing pink sunset, palm treed beach. These two images both invoke good moods, one being an innocent child-like fun while the other is a relaxing and peaceful expensive holiday aesthetic. These things heavily influence the design of Sand & Sky's 'Body Sand' exfoliator, combining naïve fun with a glamorous lifestyle. Helpful pet dog fetching post + Automated home connected to the cloud = 'Vector' home assistant by Anki
Vector has the temperament of a fun pet companion, like a dog it has the eager attitude to help and learn. Like a dog though, Vector has a cheekier side where he is playful and slightly chaotic - throwing his bluetooth 'toy' cube off the surface he resides on and then giggling in joy, This combined with the built in intelligence of a cloud based assistance gives him a unique aesthetic between a pet and Amazons assistant 'Alexa '. |
