“Are there any resources to think outside of traditional CMF trends and discover an authentic aesthetic?”

Depending on the observational method, we could unveil new aesthetic features.

Scoping the features of the onion’s characteristics:With the experimental assets, we delved into defining the ‘Onion’ context as color and seamless texture for use in thedesign process.

We classified the aesthetic characteristics as a way of transforming digital sources. It involved three keywords: In terms of capturing inspiration, these classifications allow us to organize experiments, making them easy to study, utilize, and refine visually.

Following the objective research, we effectively applied it to digital prototypes for reference in the next step of concept development and refinement. Unlike the previous step, which engaged an objective perspective, I explored a broad aesthetic experiment. For instance, I experimented with patterns that could offset bright and vivid colors or refine complex patterns by applying colors to make them eye-catching.

The 'Onion Library' served as the most powerful tool for exploring unique visual combinations. It significantly influenced my ability to craft distinctive designs, ranging from intuitive geometries to abstract compositions.
