3.1.2

This tape holder is a roughly trapezoid shape with fillets edges and curves lines that line the top of the shape. It has an overall smooth and shiny surface with the exception of the two pads of rubbers material on the bottom to prevent it from sliding around. The shape only has one line of symmetry because the middle line is cut more like a curved checkmark than an actual arc. The black color of the tape hold reflects no light and is in direct contract to the white color of the tape itself. The white of the tape helps it stand out as the tape hold puts emphasis on it. Finally, the shape also contains asymmetrical balance with one side having the sharp tape cutter and the arc carved into the front. The other side, meanwhile, is simply just a filleted edge. The tape has to “holders” that slide into the gaps of the holder, thanks to the slope of the checkmark-shaped cutout.

The surface, at close inspection, contains a pattern of little dots that helps prevent the user from accidentally dropping it. The square cut out into the center of the top of the shape also has a sloped bottom, matching that of the top surface. The tape cutter is a shiny silver color that has a pattern of little triangle shaped spikes that help tear through the tap. The cutter fits into a rectangular gap in the tape cutter.
