Every design project has an inherent scale. The scale mediates a number of variables. Program, site, the material of construction, and design intention are some examples of these variables. A client’s program description provides information about a project’s intended user(s). The designer is responsible for investigating the accuracy of this description and for creating a design that meets the real needs of the real people who will interact with the real finished project. Every design student should develop an approach to this responsibility. We will initiate this process using ourselves as the subjects: The measure of the real users = us

Mask Design Concept：

​

 My mask is about two things. It has two meanings.

First, I am an introvert person. The mask allows me to meet people and not to let them into（inside） me.

Secondly, the mask is about my feeling that many of us when we meet someone is more interested in how people see us rather than the person we are meeting.

The mirror mask keeps people from seeing me and at the same time it supports my belief that people are more interested in themselves when they first meet rather than the other person they meet.
