For this week’s translating affordance project, I want to create a physical filter/ portable photo booth.
Personally, I’m a big fan of filters. I love taking selfies with filters on. Sometimes, the filter is so cute that I wish it’s real.
I love filters!!!
So I decided to create a tangible one with the recycled materials.

Sketch for a physical filter that can change faces by pulling the paper
Since I don’t have enough cardboard to cover my face, so I am going to make a mini prototype for my Kaonashi toy.
Recycled materials
The package of face mask and my model of the day—Kaonashi
First step: make a paper helmet
I calculated the size of my Kaonashi’s head and made sure it fits.
Second step: cut holes and make a cover & slot
The cover is to make the portable filter more like an all-in-one box.
The slot is for inserting different filters/faces.

Third step: draw filters/faces
Here I designed two kinds of filters: one for changing parts of the face, and the other one for changing the entire face.
