Nam's 5th post

Since the last critique, I have been experimenting with some different directions. The concept of lost perks gradually lost its appeal and I even almost forgot about it at one point. Though plainly humorous at its core, the idea constantly borderlines on demeaning. Since I don't have a strong relationship with the blind community, keeping track of potential sentiments has appeared increasingly difficult.

A following discussion with my adviser provided a fresh perspective on the mismatched socks poster, eventually sparking a new conceptual idea: Now with Lookout, the blind are more aware of the world, and thus if something like mismatching socks happens, it is a deliberate decision rather than a mistake. So instead of saying "no, you just lost your perks," the new ideas below say "hey, you can now do what used to be perks of the sighted."




Then another direction: Things that blind people no longer need to rely on, are now treated differently.
