The Predicament
Design Criteria
Sketch Exploration
Our team began by exploring a wide variety of potential PPE styles, focusing on filtration methods, attachment methods and aesthetic details. Eventually we zeroed in on a transparent face mask.
Target User
Early in the process we chose to focus in on our user persona, which helped guide the visual brand language development on the product. We decided to aim our product at the young urban professional whose job requires in person collaboration. Technical development of the mask focused on the needs of this user group and aesthetic decisions were made to support their desires as well.
Concept Development
We used iteration to refine our design, exploring ways to apply signature visual brand language elements including strong lines and curves, neutral tones, repetitive forms and contrast between materials and textures.
