it realy has worked very well. i hope to do some more more of this but i will wait until Mats lesson on thursday.
so for the rest of the day i have been developing more design ideas from some rubbings that i took from some random peoples cars in the carpark (hope they dont mind). i found a very good tecnhique wich involves a bit of 'play'. i made four cubes and arranges them accordingly to recreate a pattern in a tyre. after photoggraphing this, i then just kept rearanging the same shapes but in different orders. sometimes strategicly, and other times by just droping them and seeing how the land. for every one that i liked, i did a quick sketch and took photographs. so this worked very well.
