A circle is a perfect shape. It does not have any corner like a square or a rectangle. It is not only aesthetically appealing to the eye but also functional.
"Don’t reinvent the wheel, just realign it." Anthony J. D'Angelo
This idiomatic is the main inspiration for brainstorming possible ideas. Like many other design, inspirations are derived from circular manifesto which provides an infinite solution cycle and also the opportunity to explore more possibilities until making a full cycle solution.
The fascination eventually result into a design project inspired by Enso brushstroke symbol. It symbolises the enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and the void. It also represent emptiness, minimalist and simplicity in design.
It all comes to a full circle.
As a source of inspiration, it eventually results in a design project titled "Intangible, the soul of design". It is about a digital compass on a phone app that can locate the positive energy within a space. The compass is a guidance for a room setting according to the cardinal direction.
To reflect the Enso brushstroke, the app icons are designed to have a circular fluidity in a tactile approach. The circular motion also enhances the spirit and aura of the design.
