Dopamine

about the project

Dopamine is a publication project that explores how small visual and sensory stimuli can influence mood and emotional response. Centered on the idea of everyday “dopamine moments,” the work collects and translates elements from daily life—color, texture, objects, and visual patterns—into a series of compositions that evoke pleasure and stimulation.

Through editorial design, typography, and image sequencing, the project constructs a visual system that balances intensity and rhythm, reflecting how moments of excitement and calm coexist. Rather than presenting dopamine as a scientific concept alone, the project reinterprets it as a design language—one that connects perception, emotion, and visual experience.
