Blog #7, Tape

My product was a piece of tape, This piece of tape is meant to be standing above all others because it is on the apple box. The story that is told here is that even in the randomness of the world, tape will always be useful. There is also the motif of circles because tape is often rolled up in a circle. You can see this in the bottom tap, and in the top tape. You can also see this in the circle hole of metal floating above the top tape. Circles can represent many things in our society so having tape be a circle adds to the scene. The mouse and bike chain add to the scene because it makes it seem more in line with the rule of thirds.

The world that is supposed to represent is one of pure depravity, every piece of tape for themselves, This world is set after a nuclear war that wiped out 99% of Tapekind. The only ones that survived were pieces of tape that hid away in bunkers and ones on an orbiting space station. I was trying to evoke the feeling of resources running out and a story of how intelligent life is inherently self destructive.
