The Tape Shoe was a complete challenge. My first step to the project was doing lots of sketches and measuring all the dimensions, so that in the end my foot would fit in the shoe. I started by working on the sole and sides first. Then I focused in on the small, but over all details of the shoe. Like the laces, breathing hole, and logos. One of the biggest problems that I ran into was that I made all the pieces separately. Now I have all these pieces and don’t have a clue on how to put them together. At that point in the project I had to speed up the project double time, because I was coming near to the deadline. I got in a nice groove towards the end to finish piecing the puzzle together. At last weeks and weeks of taping had turned into a cool replica of my shoe. The most knowledge that I come away with from this was to just sit down and really look at it the subject matter.
