Description

So Long!

So Long! is a series of customizable goodbye gifts for a dying person (or planning their death before unexpected accidents happen) to present to their loved ones. The customizable good-bye gift product-service acts as an alternative way to let the dying persons leave no regrets before their death, other than just writing letters and leaving a sum of money.

In this project, it is necessary to capture the most irreplaceable and precious part of the person to preserve the essence. The abstract design needs to help to prevent provoking sadness to the user.

Project objectives

Help people die with fewer regrets
Trigger or evoke the continuing bonds with their deceased loved ones
Thus, the ones who are still alive would have their life even better and meaningful
Raise the importance and public awareness of preparing a good death
