Persons of Note- Cut Paper

I wanted to 'deconstruct' the Bombe and see how I could use these components to portray Alan Turing, as he made the machine as we know it, all of these parts came about through Turing's mind. 

What works well?

-Filled with metaphors: deconstructing the machines like they did after the war

-Tiny parts had such a huge impact on the war

-Really like the lines and circle, think they show a crossing of information and mirroring, like what the Bombe did

What don't I like?

-Colours- only roughs so doesn't matter, but should consider a colour scheme - Maybe that of the drums on the Bombe?

-Some of the detailed shapes take away from the image and make it seem a lot more complicated than it needs to b

What will I do next?

-Could I show the traveling of electricity? Like a circuit board?

-How did Alan Turing plan this? What did it look like in his mind? Is it possible to draw his thoughts and plans?

Looking at stopping the wheels and different
sized cogs- like the intersect of line

Too detailed in elements, think more
basic, unrecognisable shapes work
better in this form

Really like this overlapping, but
not a very strong composition

Like this one the most- reminds me
of how the data is transmitted within
the Bombe- how could I grow this?

Over the holidays I helped out at Anorak's Drawing Imaginarium, where Rob Flower's Magic Wall was exhibiting. The principal behind it was it was an abstract image until you looked at it through tinted plastic, where it revealed another image completely. This is really something which interests me, and although I don't think I will go as far into colour theory in this brief, I would like to expand on the idea of seeing one thing before discovering the other through looking deeper, which mirrors the action of decoding.
