56This month we can dispense with practicalities. We can
put aside function, and dispense entirely with features.
October, particularly its final day, is all about looks – spooky,
scary looks to be precise. It’s a time to have fun with your
skills – maybe this means an opportunity to try something
new, maybe this means the chance to show off some new
technique you’ve learned, or maybe it’s simply a chance to
stand a few hairs on end.
The beauty of making things for Halloween is that it’s
entirely about having fun – whatever that means to you. For
some people, this means concentrating on electronics and
building some intricate mechanisms, for others, it means big
elaborate statement pieces, and there are those who might go
in for really detailed, realistic builds. It doesn’t matter, as long
as it’s what you’re interested in.
If you’re struggling for ideas, then we’ve got plenty to spare!
Take a look at page 42 to dive into the spooky selection. If you
prefer to hide from trick-or-treaters with the lights turned off,
then fear not, we’ve also got a magazine jam-packed with all
the usual hacking and making. Turn the page to get stuck in.BEN EVERARD
