Data Application Prototype
Inspired by my infographic, the objective of this app is to collect and organize an individual’s specific data regarding elevation, steps taken, frequently visited locations, distances travelled, etc, and display it in a simple, accessible way.

Revised Research Question:
How can I create a line of jackets that aim to end the stigmatization of various skin diseases?
Sub Questions:
- What are some of the most common skin diseases and how do they impact the individual?
-What are some common misconceptions about skin diseases?
-How have other artists portrayed skin diseases or other related topics in their work?
This week:
In-depth research about three skin diseases and initial material exploration
Vitiligo:
-Disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches
-Occurs when pigment-producing cells die out or stop functioning
-More visibly apparent in individuals with darker skin tones
-Recycled beige and brown denim, cut and stitched together
-Next iterations: more intricate patterns, try at a larger scale
Acne:
-Skin condition that occurs when hair follicles plug with oil and dead skin cells
-Most common in teens and young adults
-Recycled beige denim with watercolor splotches
-Next iterations: more depth in color, explore how to make more tactile (use of beads and string to add texture)
Psoriasis:
-Skin condition in which skin cells build up form scales and itchy, dry patches
-Various types: plaque psoriasis is most common
-Recycled beige denim with embroidery
-Next iterations: more accurate shapes and colors (create an outline on Illustrator)
-Some types of psoriasis only occur on certain areas of the body, and I want to stay true to this in the jacket
Next week:
-Further explorations
-Contact individuals with these skin conditions for a brief interview
-Collect materials for first jacket
-Access to dress form mannequin?
