Ofazomi isn’t sure what to make of this. There is something compelling about the person who not only took the time to build a scale model of an assault rifle out of paper, but share the plans on the internet. Is this an homage to industrial design or to militarism? Or both? Or neither? The precision of the scale is striking in contrast to the hand drawn plans. What is the meaning of rendering a gun in paper? Is the symbolism even stronger when and object’s form is divorced from its functionality? If so, peaceful protesters may soon be carrying these “signs”.
A typographic, designological, visulicious extravaganza!
