About Pride Shrike Dealbhadh Suaicheantais

Is e Pride Shrike suaicheantas a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson tachartas lùth-chleasachd nàiseanta àrd-sgoile a chaidh a chumail ann am Pingtung, Taiwan. Tha an suaicheantas stèidhichte air an fhiabhas dhonn, an t-eun oifigeil aig Siorrachd Pingtung, a chaidh a thaghadh an àite nan dealbhan mhoncaidh a bha co-cheangailte ris a' bhaile o chionn fhada. Chaidh comhairle a ghabhail le eun-eòlaichean gus dèanamh cinnteach gu robh am masg dubh timcheall na sùla, an corp uachdarach ruadhach, agus an t-earball le bàrr geal air an sealltainn gu ceart. Chaidh an suaicheantas a tharraing an dà chuid ann an cruth grafaigeach agus trì-thoiseach, agus chaidh atharrachadh a dhèanamh air gu bhith na steigearan beòthail airson aplacaid theachdaireachd a tha air a chleachdadh gu farsaing. 'S e an t-amas spòrs agus an sgìre aoigheachd adhartachadh.

Tags: Mascot, Games, Pingtung, Taiwan, Line, Animated sticker, National High School Athletics, Shrike, Bird, Brown Shrike
Production Technology: The mascot is drawn in both graphic and 3 dimensional way. For animated stickers, the team created animation in After Effect and generated the animated images with an APNG creation tool such as APNG Assembler.
Design Challenge: Capturing the traits of brown shrike is the most challenging aspect. The team has worked closely with ornithologists to picture the brown shrike. The face is white with the typical black "bandit-mask" through the eyes. The upper part is reddish and the lower parts are yellowish belly withrufousflanks. The tail is redder and tipped in white.
Research: Besides its adorkable appearance and flexible body, Pride Shrike has very distinctive personality. He is a national badminton player, in the senior year of athletic class in National Chao-Chou Senior High School. His favorite snack is Wandan red bean cake and favorite beverage is fresh lemon juice, which are both signature products in Pingtung. His objective is to show the characteristics of the host city. Pride Shrike is an important agent to promote its tourism and economy with local industries and signature products.
Inspiration: The mascot design of Pingtung City has long been monkeys because the old name of Pingtung is "Ahou," which is pronounced similar to "monkey" in Mandarin. In order to break away from stereotyped thinking, the team selected Brown Shrike, the bird of Pingtung County, as an inspiration to give everyone a refreshing impression about Pingtung. In particular, the team collaborated with Endemic Species Research Institute to draw the key features of Brown Shrike in detail.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 and finished in December 2019, and the mascot was released and exhibited in January 2020. National High School Athletic Games will be held from July 18 to July 23 in Pingtung, Taiwan. More than 12,000 athletes from other counties and cities will participate in the event.
Operation Flow: It's the first time to promote national games as LINE animated sticker since LINE is the most popular communication software in Taiwan. In order to create stickers with novelty, here are the creative directions:

1. Promoting sports as the main purpose, the sticker of shrike integrated into all kinds of sports to show the strength and beauty of each race.
2. Communicating with young generation, as all the athletes are between 12 to 18 years old, the shrike in the sticker speaks funny buzzwords.
