Project Two: Tape Dispenser

For project two, I was to redesign a reusable tabletop tape dispenser for Scotch tape using monument as my concept.  Keeping in mind my concept, I wanted to use sharp angles and abstract shapes to portray the bold, mighty and powerful sense that you get when you look at a monument.

At the beginning of my process, I really liked the idea of repetitive shapes and forms with a passage way through them that the tape would be dispensed. Later on, I started to develop a different idea of two separate forms that the tape would connect.  Playing around with this idea, I developed my final dispenser.  My final tape dispenser demonstrates the bold and powerful aspect a monument displays through its extreme angles and abstract shapes.
