Description:
As face masks essentially cover half of the user’s face, individuals become less recognisable than they normally would be. Douglas Young presents a prototype concept for printed face masks. Through 3D scanning and printing, the user can create a copy of their actual face as face mask. Not only does the plastic face mask blocks viruses, upon wearing it, you could still distinguish the user’s face and features. “I think design is a coordinated response to a set of problems,” says Douglas, “The COVID-19 situation has brought about a new set of problems for humankind. As a designer, it offers me immense design possibilities and creative ideas so this is the positive side that I am seeing from this human catastrophe.”
