Play card
reddot design award winner 2007

日常生活中，人們在很多方面到運用”撕下來”這個概念，很簡單、快速、而且方便。Play Card就是運用這個概念將2D的圖像轉變成3D真實的玩具。
Play Card的概念來自於小時候玩的橡皮筋槍，我想說可以將2D的圖像設計在平面上，然後人們可以自己撕下來玩，在試過許多材質後，找到了最好的材質叫做PP。
PP板是種簡單便宜又有彈性的材料，使平面的圖象可以利用雷射切割的方式打成小洞，到一種可以讓人自己撕下來的程度，配合橡皮筋和簡單的機構，可以做成一把玩具橡皮槍，有附兩個小歹徒，歹徒身上有分數，可以和朋友玩射擊遊戲，提供一個即時性的娛樂，適合青少年或成人玩，以卡片的方式來互相贈送，就像是在拆卡片一樣，可以單人或多人玩，ㄧ起發洩不滿的情緒。

People use the concept of “tear it off” in many ways. It’s easy, quick, and convenient.
Play Card is an idea about how to make a 2D drawing card become a 3D real toy.

The concept of Play Card came from the toy rubber gun in my childhood. So I started to think, maybe I can design the drawing of guns. And put it on a plane material, people can tear it off by themselves. After trying many different kinds of materials, I finally find the best one called P.P.
P.P. is a kind of plastic board which is very cheap, simple, and elastic. I change my graphic design drawing into dotted line in illustrator. So the laser cutting machine can cut the dotted line into many holes by adjusts the intensity. Those little holes could let people tear off the drawing into pieces. We can make a toy rubber gun with some rubber bands, small rivets, and those pieces. There are also two little gangsters on the drawing. You can play the shooting match with your friends, and count the scores.
This is an entertainment which you can play right away when you have received one. It’s suitable for teenagers and adults when they send cards to each other. We can give vent to our bad emotion by playing this funny game.
