RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We discussed about the concept which can remind consumers of the change of seasons. Finally we reached an agreement on the concept of solar terms.
CHALLENGE: Finding the concept is the hardest part of this design. At first the client only knows that they want a package system that reflects Eastern culture. after several rounds of discussion, we find that the concept of solar terms can not only reflects Eastern culture but also reminds people the change of time and seasons.
