Biomimicry: Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems. Our topic was skin, from there we were to do scientific research on a subject involving their skin. I chose the zebra and its stripes as a focus. Using what I learned on the function of zebra stripes ( motion illusions, blurring, confusing of predators) I decided to do that, but for advertising on a human plain of existence. The signage came from an accident with mirror vectored zebra stripes, revealing a new animal. From there I used the stripes to confuse a predator, us humans. It is designed to confuse and hide a message. To force the predator (us humans) to come take a closer work and reveal the message and learn more at the end, hence why its designed so long.
