life. The aim of creating these products is to incorporate a sense of calm/happiness into
the user.
All the 5 senses were considered in the beginning, whether or not to incorporate multiple
senses into the product to be made. Then finally the sense of sight was chosen and in turn
it resulted in ambience lighting products.

Personification of the Sun - In this wall, extrud-

It was decided to keep the art abstract and
contemporary, hence the collage of abstract
triangles.
In the current stores, their is no element that
indicates the story of HELIOS.
Since the artwork is near the cash
counter, people would definitely
analyse the artwork since there is
waiting time and the greeke
pillar presents the first hint as to
what the store is all about.

Pet a Plant Basics
Making life easier.
The aim of the project was to develope an application(Only UI, not in-depth UX) that
would solve any specific problems/ broaden opportunities/ bring about a change.
33
Research about the user
The idea was to come up with an appli-
cation that would encourage the user
to plant in their homes, help in manag-
ing the plants and provide resources for
taking care of the plant.
- Some users enjoy this, but then time
and care are a problem.
-Its better to cultivate in one’s home
nowadays as the pesticides used in
farms are detrimental for health.
- The practice would encourage the
coming generations to grow plants - this
in turn would make them considerate
about the environment.

To design a window display that would give a fresh look to the
store at the new Indiranagar store in Bangalore.
One theme was provided, which was migration. From this theme, a surrealistic theme was
developed, that involved incorporating a butterfly and bird since both migrate.

This would depict how accurate the watches are
in relation to the birds knowing when to
migrate.

fly in one direction.
