This project aims to help you feel calm and relaxed even though you are in the digital space. During the pandemic, you are likely to feel stressed as we all need to be stuck indoors. This motion graphic video depicts sun and ocean waves. If you take a deep breath with the sun's movement, the deep breath will probably help you relax.

This project was to create my own publication. My digital publication explores Japanese City Pop music from 1980 to understand the interaction between music and art. Music and art/design often reflect some culture, trend, politics, economy and social condition at the time. The project digs into the reasons why City Pop, the vintage Japanese pop music from 1980, has recently attracted attention worldwide, leading audiences to know there are things in common between music and design.

This SIP project promotes the campaign "Origami Home Sessions" through motion graphics to encourage the music and entertainment industry. The existing campaign "Origami Home Sessions" aims to support musicians who struggle without any income due to the COVID-19 situation. 11 artists from Origami productions company provide free instrumental and acapella tracks online that you can arrange in any way if you follow some guidelines. I used the soundtracks as background music for my motion graphics which are abstract descriptions of cocktails, representing the nightlife, including pubs and bars, which are closely connected with live performance and have been negatively influenced by the current situation.
