I think its to expensive to produce, i doubt a sprayer kid would spent 60 euros for a mask but cool design

All spray cans should be banned, this woud remove 90% of all graffiti vandalism

I think Gonzo has a good point. Even though this is designed for the future, It definitely would be more expensive than existing respirators to produce. But, keep in mind that this is extremely well-designed and mitigates all of the major problems current respirators have. Gorgeous too! Great job

Beautiful! Awesome work!

very good! every gear must has beautiful design like yours!

well, graffiti is a form of art… except for some..

i would love to own one! great job!!

How do you stop it slipping down your face? The strap looks as though it would only hold it horizontally against your jaw. You dont want to rely on your nose to hold it up, that gets very uncomfortable after a day in it. And I would not put any lights on the front where it is likely to affect how you see your paint finish, You will notice that pro spray booths are super well lit with one colour of light.. On the side or back would be better for an indicator light.

But nice project.

Sorry I can understand that it’s quite difficult to understand with these pages because the text is quite small. But this respirator uses GECKEL technology that safely adheres onto your face. It’s reusable, safe, self-cleaning, strong, comfortable, and waterproof as well.

The indicator light is not always on. Only when the filters start to run out it’ll alert you early and it’ll blink once with a beep. It’ll continue to blink and beep every ten minutes until the filters are fully exhausted. When the filter is fully exhausted, that’s when the red light comes on and stays on to alert the user that he/she is not being protected.

Graffiti makers should use a brush and water colours this would solve both problems expensive masks and annoying graffitis on house’s walls. goddamn graffiti junkies

This is one of the most well thought out concepts that I have seen on this site. Your research and attention to detail shows. Excellent job!

Decent little college project this. You can see the clear influences from the fairly similar gas masks in Batman as well as numerous other sci-fi films, programmes and computer games. Probably not wise to encourage graffiti but that’s another issue altogether. Perhaps it could be marketed in any future campaigns more towards builders and industrial painters, but then again they just use dust masks which do pretty much exactly the same thing but are far less expensive. Not exactly an original concept or design but still interesting nonetheless and some great renders!

actually dustmasks only protect against particles, not chemical fumes in paints so they don’t protect against the same stuff. excellent work here

“no one, not even scientist know when the filter runs out”

I was always taught that when you smelled fumes, the filter was done… seemed pretty simple. Smelling fumes also indicates a failure on the seal. Not sure it needs the battery/light.

Great sketches/research, but the #1 important thing for a face mask is that it’s comfortable, make some mock-ups!

Anon you do have a point. I have heard from quite a few people through my research about telling when filters run out via smelling of fumes. But it is not 100%. Every environment is different, with different chemicals, sizes of rooms, number of people working, etc.

Usually in professional circumstances (e.g. body shops), they have filter replacement cycles where they have a set schedule for replacing filters. For independent artists and designers, it is impossible. Scientists need to come in and test the environment with expensive instruments.

Although comfort plays a huge role with respirators (I agree with that) protection is is by far the most important. I actually made many many mockups for this.

it’s clearly stated in his research that the target audience is independent artists. this ia a house painter. what’s the point of this image. Great in-depth research and beautiful forms.

I took another (closer) look and saw the mock-ups, my mistake- I’m glad you took the time to make these.

The only reason I say comfort is most important is- (and this is even more true for the artist/designers) if it’s not comfortable, it won’t be worn, so it’s irrelevant how effective it is.

I don’t know about you, but I would often just hold my breath and duck into the spray booth to touch up a model quickly b/c my respirator was too annoying to deal with.

Either way, the point is to keep fumes out of the lungs, I think we can agree on that.

Anon I cannot agree with you more. I do the exact same thing. Even when I’m in the paint booth or composite room filled with super hazardous particles and fumes for hours on end, I never wear my mask. I know, terrible.

That is what motivated me to design this respirator in the first place Thank you for your comments

I like this! E!

Why not just ban all paint? Or stop all manufactures from creating any type of colour of paint besides white? Intolerant.

Great design, but i have to agree with Gonzo.

Street art has been the dominant form of art for the past decade, financially and culturally, are there really people who are still against it?

It doesn’t hurt you at all, it makes your life more beautiful. Corporations are quickly filling up every blank surface in our lives with ads, isn’t it nice to see someone expressing themselves with gorgeous personal statements for no personal gain (and lots of risk) just to make you smile on your way to work?

I love the way you present your work! Neat & informative! Good work & keep it up!
