Data Visualized Lush Soap Bar


A visual system created from data of the sweetness and refreshing texture of Lush Soap Bar that express the sensory information about each soap products.






Challenge


Lush Soap Bar is a series of soaps that is environmentally friendly and rich in variety of scent, texture and colors. The only difference among these soaps are in their scent and aroma, summing up to more than 24 kinds.

My challenge here was to create a visual system that express the uniqueness of each soap while giving a same system that shows these soaps are from the same series.

Solution


After trying out many kinds of soaps in Lush stores, I figured out that the sweetness of scent and texture of my hands after I used the soap. I mapped and visualized the sweetness of scents (refreshing, floral, citrus etc...) as the number of petals on each flower, and moisture level of my hands after used as the number of flowers on each screen.

Built through custom-made CMS, and developed through scribble.p5 library.
