Rinne

First, we drew lines on paper using a brush and ink.
The materials created by each student were treated as shared assets that could be used by the entire class.

Once completing the drawings, we scanned the selected pieces and performed color correction in Photoshop. I inverted some of the materials from black to white, then printed them.

I connected the drawings into a single continuous line, creating a figure-ground reversal effect between black and white.

After creating these materials, the first idea that came to mind was to apply them to package design, as they reminded me of Japanese visual effects. This led to the concept of OKO, an incense brand inspired by seasonal Japanese flowers.

OKO is designed for Japanese people living and working abroad, providing them with a subtle reminder of Japan through scent.

First, I applied the black-and-white materials.

Then, I added color to evoke each season.

I adopted floral scents that correspond to each season.
