Making a U-turn

Having received feedback from the last week's presentation with a solution that we hoped would ease social anxiety in public spaces, we realised we had to take a different approach. This was largely due to the fact that it could not solve social anxiety within two weeks.

We tabled a few different ideas across that included an outfit that could change in appearance but we needed one that was feasible enough until our search landed on make-up with help from Dr. John Fass, our lead tutor through a sit-down session.

A new idea

To further our make-up idea, Jumleena went experimenting with her friends back at her residence and the results documented as below:

Body-storming

The red carpet

Slavi arose to the ’red carpert’ and took our breath away.

Analysis

People tend to act different when they put makeup on, they try to match better with the makeup.
Some people feel more confident after putting makeup on.
Some people feel so different from themselves after putting makeup on, they feel shy or not too confident.

Prototyping

A dearly missed moment

I was unable to make it during the making of the final designs but I am more than grateful for what the team managed to pull off.
