HOW CAN WE ENHANCE OUR DREAMING EXPERIENCE FURTHER?
MEET SCAPE.
SCAPE is a visual dream journal application. It encourages users from all over the world to input their dreams, analyze, and compare them with other accessible entries within the application community.
Using vivid colors, interactions, and imagery, the application creates an illusion of belonging and communal understanding. Each user and each dream entry are assigned to a unique gradient identity, which fuses with and joins other entries when compared, producing a visual experience that allows users to feel digital connection through imagery.

Taking inspiration from applications that promote digital spirituality and personality testings, SCAPE is a visual experience that allows users to dig deeper into their dreamscape.
The application promotes three main facets: DISCOVER, UNDERSTAND, and SEE. All three facets are reflected in the application’s main features.
THE DESIGN APPROACH
Create a dynamic and strong visual experience to promote personal and communal intimacy through the archiving and understanding of dreams.
The use of color (gradients) and orbs is to simulate fusion and community. The gradients signify elements and thoughts that come together in a single dream, while the consistent circular theme embodies the global and community aspect of the application.
Through features such as dream analysis and comparison, the application differentiates itself from others by exploring and probing further into our own, as well as others’ dream experiences.
