Intentions: My idea was to focus on packaging and exterior appearance, because of the importance of it in our society. Most people judge and base their opinions on overall appearance. A lot of emphasis is based on the way a products packaging is designed, because of the impact it has on consumers. We also package ourselves creating an individual appearance and identity using clothing brands, accessories and cars etc. We package ourselves in different ways to suit different needs, using clothing  and personality. For example, if someone meets a new crowd, they may automatically alter their personality to fit in. People also create identities within their lifestyles, making themselves appear how they want to appear. Many people will make themselves appear richer than they actually are by buying unaffordable cars, houses and accessories, as some people see this as more attractive  and respectable than being poor is. I want to look at the different ways and categories in which we incorporate 'packaging'.
