“If Memories Could Smell”
Object: Printed Publication
Title: “If Memories Could Smell”
About: Design a final outcome that showcases a new or unusual use for an existing material of your choice. It has to be inspired by material-based research making use of an iterative design process. In my case, my material was essential oils. I created a notation system of scent symbols that you can use to tell stories/memories through smells. Made interviews with different people to investigate the topic more. I put everything in a book.
Techniques used: InDesign, Webflow, Podcast recording, Studio photography, Interviewing, and material-based research.
