Eyechart #1

Soo...my object that I got from the randomiser was a Biro. Quite a nice, simple, recognisible object.

I took a few photos to decide how I wanted the
pen (i.e. lid off...lid on top etc.)
I didn't spend long with lighting and things but I was

However, after some deliberation...I decided the composition and layout below is the one that I will work with;
