Pen for a Stroke of Genius

The brief was to design a pen that captured the essence of an influential person
while also reflecting the era and environment it would be used in. My person of choice was Alan Turing.

Brief.

Design a pen that personifies a person of importance or would be used in a historical event.

Idea.

Alan Turing was the man that developed the idea of the modern computer and was able to solve the 'enigma' code, which led to a breakthrough in the WWII. The designs were inspired by the time period throughout WWII, where mass production became standard, as well as his mechanical mind and sexualality. 

Concepts.

Iterations.
