About Namito Art Toy Karakterbillede

Namito er et virtuelt art toy-billede skabt til kommerciel brug. Namito er en pige med ferskenformede læber, en rød paddehatte-frisure og hovedbeklædning formet som kaninører. Hun bærer en rød kjole og står med hænderne i lommerne og lukkede øjne. Hendes trutmund former to hjerter og bogstavet X, et tegn på at elske verden og samtidig afvise det dårlige. Karakteren optræder i billeder, videoer, udstillinger og trykte produkter. Namito har til formål at reducere mental stress og opmuntre mennesker til at være sig selv.

Unique Properties: Namito is a girl with peach-shaped lips in a red mushroom hairstyle with rabbit ear-like headgear. She stands cool in a striking red dress with her hands in her pockets. She looks relaxed with her eyes closed, seeming to be kissing "goodliness" with pouted lips. Her unique pouted lips are in the shape of two hearts/ the letter "X" (love & say no), implying loving the world while refusing the bad. "Yes, or No, That is Not a Question" is her motto. She shapes an image of a city's dream pursuer.
Dimensions & Packaging: In commercialization, Namito has adopted such carrier forms as pictures, videos, exhibitions, and printed goods.

Besides, to meet the needs of commercial applications, Namito has adopted three business models: commodity authorization, commercial exhibition, and photo gallery authorization.
Design Challenge: Main challenge: how to better combine other brands with Namito in cross-border co-branding cooperation.
Solution: Integrating brand features into Namito via second creation. The cultural collision between brands makes Namito more fresh & vivid to convey "reducing mental stress" & Namito's inner healing power more widely via brand effect, e.g. cultural & creative dolls co-branded with the Terracotta Warriors, novel and creative, well combining traditional Chinese culture & trendy modern art.
