Overview
Noel's machine is a creative reinterpretation of the game Munari's Machines, blending playful design with imaginative storytelling.
This project takes inspiration from the famous saying, "You snooze, you lose," and turns it on its head with humor and ingenuity. My version, titled The Machine for Catching Fish While You Sleep (translated from the Italian saying "Chi dorme non piglia pesci"), offers a whimsical approach to debunking this age-old proverb. The machine illustrates how, contrary to popular belief, it's possible to "catch fish" even while asleep. Through its inventive design and playful mechanisms, it transforms the idea of productivity and success into something lighthearted and fun, inviting viewers to rethink traditional notions of effort and reward.
Reinterpret a classic design-education exercise (Bruno Munari's "machines") with an original, personal narrative rather than a literal copy of the format.
Academic brief: design an imaginary "useless machine" in the style of Munari, with illustration and storytelling.
Illustration (Procreate/Illustrator), hand sketching.
