Lance Armstrong

The celebrity I've chosen for the project is Lance Armstrong. Not only is he one of the most inspirational athletes ever, he's also a huge advocate for health, fitness and the environment. Apparently he drives a Toyota Highlander Hybrid! Trivial knowledge: he has a resting heart rate of 32 beats per minute.

Here's a theme board I've created:

'Celebrity Rides' Project - Introduction

This blog has been created to document a project for Monash University's Transport II unit. The project is titled 'Celebrity Rides' and instead of me trying to explain it, here's an abstract from the brief that'll give you a good idea of the jist of it...

"You have been commissioned by a television production company to design a vehicle interior or exterior (car, truck, bus, yacht, jet, helicopter, etc) for a famous celebrity as part of a reality television program. The design must reflect the personality, lifestyle, and brand image of the celebrity. You and the celebrity will be the stars of the show as you work closely to develop the design, this is your 15 minutes of fame – don’t waste it! Once the program is completed the vehicle will be produced in limited numbers by a low volume manufacturer."

There it is. Expect to see progress and images in the coming weeks. Note: Some sketches I post may will probably be wonky and whacky, and that would because I've broken my dominant right arm mountain biking a week ago, meaning I must do everything with my left arm for at least the next 6 weeks. If you're not just about to eat a meal, you can check the crazy x-ray here.
