Projects
  • Aromhour
    AromhourAromhour is a brand that explores the relationship between smell and time. The concept of Aromhour is telling time by smell. From the scent clock system to various industries by interacting with customers and then explore more new possibilities basic on this concept. Customers could realize how time flies without interrupted while enjoying the aromatic bath. Visualizing smell – moving images The idea of different moving images demonstrates the different scent of AROMHOUR. Rather than using static images, the speed and rhythm of the moving images, and the abstract element within it, enables us to express the mood of each individual scent more closely. Visualizing time – the sundial The reason why the shadow of sundial was chosen as the language to represent time is that it is original from nature and changing continuously. Considering the positioning of this brand, telling the time by the different angles and shapes of the shadow are delicate and gentle. The animation conveys the relationship between the transformation of moving images of each scent and the changing of the shadow of sundial directly. Accompanied by music that flows with time and sounds that signal the passing of each hour, the viewer can understand the essence of the brand from these 27 seconds of animation. The animation is of circular in shape, this aspect of the animation is related to the 24 hours of the day, our watches, and our clocks all tend to this particular shape, as it represents day after day, an endless continuity. It is symbolism that people are familiar with, and a straightforward to reinforce the concept of time.

I began to imagine when I watched the tops of mountains on the ferryboat. It must be another world under the sea. When I imagined more, I though of the ancient creature from Chinese myth. It would be interesting that Chinese ancient creatures visit in this mysterious island. Let's imagine and explore more.
