Brief: Create an alternative to the existing 2010 Olympic mascots (Wenlock and Mandeville).
Create something iconic that celebrates British culture, creativity and heritage.
1) Write down two words that will describe your mascot characteristics e.g (agility, long legs)
2) In pairs, taking the two words you've chosen between you, eliminate two of them leaving just two words between you
3) Draw your mascot or create your mascot using model making materials
4) Introduce your creation to the rest of the group, explaining the design decisions you made.
With just ten minutes to make their mascots this is what the workshop group came up with:
The Olympic Posse mascots brandishing knives and wearing matching caps
The Punk Routemaster
The Weather
The Butterfly Arrow
Shielded Icarus
Phallus on Wheels
