Dia de los muertos derives from an Aztec ritual to the goddess Mictlantecuhtli, queen of the after life, and that transformed to a celebration in which people commemorate their deceased loved ones by offering various foods and objects that the lost member used during his or her lifetime, ex. (favorite food, favorite drink, favorite toy). My inspiration comes from the first dia de los muertos parade that took place in Mexico city in 2016, such was due to the fans of the movie Spectre and it's Hollywood made parade and it inspired people across the city to create on of their on. my design is mostly based by the pattern and dimensions of the costumes below.

Technique
Using a skull model from the database at the 3D Studio in the ATEC building, I created a (#) polygon model that would work well with the Pepakura software and of a real life size that match my concept.
Materials
The materials I used were flute cardboard and acrylic paint.
