Blueminon
Corona Blue is new term popularly used in Korea 2020. This word is coined to refer to the depression and lethargy caused by COVID 19 pandemic. People started to search ways to overcome the Corona Blue, and one of the popular hobbies that got through their way is Planterior. This is another new Korean term coined by the word plant and interior.
I decided to aim for the college students with corona blue who live in dorms based on my research that showed a significant increase in college student's depression rate.
My design solution was to create a dorm gardening kit that leads to visual changes in the dorm space with less effort and material requirements. My product is named Blueminon, which means to shine even in the gloomy blue days, just like how the product will shine next to the user.
