2. Tactile Objects: Investigating the flaws of adverting—such as accessibility—is a must. Being able to understand how touch acts as a form of communication is interesting, and running that idea alongside advertisements.

3. Fashion: Fashion as a form of communication self-expression, and the result of successful advertising.

4. Glasses: My ode to my original spark of inspiration/issue: How do the visually impaired get to express themselves through fashion equally? Is it difficult? Is it that much of a concern?
