Patrick Dimond
Within emerged from a collaborative effort of a branding project with Patrick Dimond, the designer who developed all branding guidelines that are followed in all projects connected to Within. Dimond developed all logos, icons, typeface, and color guidelines to be followed during the start-up stage of development for the brand. From this partnership, the startup became fleshed out to become a whimsical virtual reality world.
During development, a small portion of the world was animated, rendered, and modeled what the virtual reality world would look like. This was displayed through the use of a 3D animation that demonstrates a breathing cycle to the user that was displayed as an experiential design inside of a meditation space for a more accessible user experience.
The animation was temporarily displayed in a meditation room at Appalachian State University via projector to allow visitors to be immersed in the digital world.
