Silver Prize
Title:	Communication Tape
Comcept:	The use of packing tape is always done for someone else. For example, it could be packing up things for your child who's living in a boarding house, or it could be storing winter clothes for yourself to wear during the following winter. Furthermore, when taping a document on a bulletin board, the action of using the tape results in a communication with others. I then wondered if it was possible to add a communication function to the packing tape itself. This gave me the idea to add speech balloons onto the tape to call attention, add explanation and to disseminate messages to others.
Coment:	Simplicity is an important element of design. Ordinary adhesive tape, which exists everywhere, is given new usage in this work by adding an element of communication. In a society where communication with others has become scarce, this small design will help build new relationships between people.
