- Research
- Research included literature review, and interviews with 20 youths. Findings show young people prefer styles balancing cuteness with sophistication, with architectural curves resonating more than structures. Strategies use mountain curves as cultural metaphor, anthropomorphized figures, and low-saturation tones. The system enters daily life through products and digital media, proving traditional culture gains commercial vitality through design.
