Study Task 04: Word & Excel

For this I had to make a series of 10 pictures of my object in a text-editing program. I did this in word and chose to focus on the shapes found in the cassette tape as these are what make it function. In particularly I focused on the circle as I think this is the most iconic shape of a cassette tape and is where the recording is stored. I simply repeated the letter C to create this circle which fortunately looked like the bumps on the cassette. 

I then overlapped the shapes and letters I had on my word document and created more. I used a repeated line throughout these to represent the strip of tape running a long the bottom of the cassette tape. 

Then using a photocopier I overlapped the pieces of work I had created to make them more lively. I think they also look more complex and complicated which, deep down the cassette tape is despite it looking simple. 

I used a similar method in excel to create a series of 10 drawings of your object using a spreadsheet program. I used screenshots to capture these as I like the grid to be visible. 

 Again I used the photocopier to create overlaps and to combine my designs together and create new pieces of work.
