Garden - Grow a garden with emotion

Inspiration The emotionally deep feeling of growing a garden.
Design I designed this expressive application with the feeling of growing a garden in mind. I wanted to replicate the feeling of accomplishment of seeing something you've created come to life. With trees that mirror your emotions when you grew them, this relationship becomes a two way street. The sound and visuals were designed to replicate the overall "feeling" of the emotive input.
