Disney Imagination Competition 2025




Designing an entertaining and educational experience - throughout the visit to a flourishing planet, Glimmera, guests immerse themselves into the world and build friendships with the citizens, to construct a society where different voices and ideas are respected.

Final Presentation



The Disney Imagineering Design Competition 2025 held by Disney Imagination Hong Kong, is about storytelling and designing an experience to deliver a certain issue to variety of audience. A prompt is given to develop our idea:
   “It’s the year 2124, and some of the world’s issues, that used to be prevalent on Earth, have been tackled or eradicated. As these issues may be common throughout the Milky Way, Planet Earth is sharing the knowledge of these solutions to a wider audience to foster the exchange of ideas in the Milky Way.”

In the final showcase, my teammates (Jojo Siu, Jacky Li, Jason Tung) and I are delivering the story and the experience through a 8 minute presentation. The works below are the parts created by me.






BrandingJanuary 2025
The logo was designed as the “face” of our proposed world Glimmera. It is designed to give a magical and energetic energy.

Flower petals
The use of petals pieces over the logo signifying the story is about flowers. 

The “r” Design
Inspired and referenced from the flower, Bird of Paradise, which has a unique shape and a meaning of creativity. Bird of Paradise is also the twist throughout our project development - the design of the unique flower found in Glimmera is also inspired from the uniqueness of Bird of Paradise.




Storytelling
"If you could send one piece of music to the alien, what would you like to send to them?"

To immerse the audience into the world, the animation is played at the beginning of the presentation to give a brief overview of the world...

    “In the silent river of stars there is a discreet yet subtle planet floating in the Milky Way just as another celestial star. But hidden within the planet, there lies an extinct volcano. The serene pond in the crater has given the rise of life.

However only one type of flower blooms on this planet, creating an unchanging landscape.

Until one day, the Golden Disc from Earth accidentally landed on Glimmera, transforming the life there from lacking variety to boundless creativity.

Tourists from Earth are now on a cultural exchange tour to the world Glimmera. This cultural exchange symbolizes the mutual growth that results from embracing different perspectives and learning from one another.”




"Golden Disk"
The Voyager Golden Record was being referenced to materialise the imaginated world of Glimmera. We developed our own version of “Golden Disk” as the symbol of creativity and new idea, which is the key to trigger the transformation in Glimmera. The Golden Disk here is imaginated to share the intelligence from the Earth through the diversity of plants.

Symbols of sun and water are being adapted into the design which is essential for the plants to grow on the Earth.  Since the Record is supposed to spin, the gradient in the background is designed to create a spiral effect.

Overview / Map
This map is created and printed on foamboard for clearer visualisation of the design for the proposed world, Glimmera.











If you were an alien today, how would you be inspired from the Voyager Golden Record?
