The Pentographix - The way to recrate & rescale your sketches

youmagine

The Challenge Card read "Back to the drawing board," prompting me to design a tool that could be used for drawing or sketching. Reading about Jeff Koons sparked the idea behind Pentographix. His pop culture art and fondness for copies, particularly those enlarged from small to large scales, aligned with the Parameter Card "Small" as well as its opposite, "Large." Following research and prototyping with popsicle sticks and map pins, I designed Pentographix. This Whiteboard Rescaling tool aids in reproducing sketches at a larger scale. Theoretically, it can rescale indefinitely; however, physically, it is limited by the user's arm span. Each upper hole holds an EXPO whiteboard marker, with each marker scaled two times greater than the previous one. Pentographix can be mounted on a wall near the Whiteboard or directly to the board using tic-tacs. The Loft feature was incorporated into the motor (only one produced). I failed to find a connection with the "Teenager" Parameter Card and chose not to invent something, instead opting to omit it for the sake of the overall concept.
