Today we presented our boxes to the rest of our peers. When completing the box yesterday, we inserted the mask into the back of the box, and suspended our samples in front, layering the colours and textures of the materials. This means that our box is interactive, enabling our peers to look through the mask, seeing the layered hanging samples. This links well with the idea of identity, covering the face and eyes, removing identity. We also created a shelf for the side of the box, for the larger sampling which wasn't transparent enough for the suspending. We thought of the idea of having a "create your own skin kit", making it even more interactive, for our peers to actually pick out the sampling they preferred the most. We named our skin after combining the names of our group members together. We researched in to the layers of skin we have, realising they have names, like the epidermis etc. So we named it Nimaloje.
I was worried that our concept wasn't being put across well, maybe we should have had more text, explaining the story of the future events, which influenced our materials and designs. We transferred parts of our moodboard on to parts of our box to try to tell the story as much a we could.
