Abstract

This paper focuses on the visual presentation of smells under the Proust Effect, delving into the intrinsic connections between smell, memory, emotion, and culture, as well as their innovative practices and development trends in the field of design. By exploring the symbolic meanings of smells in literary works, it provides metaphorical resources for visual design and explains the cross-sensory design basis of smell visualization through the principles of neuroaesthetics. From the perspectives of semiotics and narratology, it discusses the metaphorical transformation of smell visualization and the ways to evoke resonance. The paper also analyzes the role of technological development in promoting smell visualization. The study shows that smell visualization expands the boundaries of graphic design but faces challenges such as technological precision and cultural differences. In the future, interdisciplinary cooperation will help its development, becoming an important bridge connecting senses, emotions, and culture.
