Principles and Practice of Illustration Part Two (Holy Cow). The Gumball idea and imbue (Artist Research)

After coming up with the idea to make a gumball machine I looked into the things I wanted the machine to include. Since I want the gumball machine to be working and interactive it will need a few things, like positive notes or messages of some sort inside the machine, a "twist" mechanism of some kind so it will be a literal 'positive twist' to receive the positive messages and maybe a logo or label on the machine itself to people can see and understand the idea straight away.

Artist Research; imbue
To help me create the gumball machine I looked into the artist imbue (on Instagram). He often creates lots of working and rather large pieces of art like a vending machine that sells prints and a "drug" vending machine. At first, I thought I was being rather ambitious when I wanted the machine to work but after looking at imbue's website and Instagram it really inspired me the try and make it fully functional as well as aesthetically fitting into the shop.

Both mine and his vending machines were made to create a message.
