Production Technology

GuaGuaXingQiu's minimalist and recognizable design conveys youthful vitality and fun. The materials are produced using sustainable materials to ensure that every entity of the brand is environmentally friendly. The precise execution of high-quality printing techniques on recyclable substrates reflects the brand's commitment to environmental responsibility and the eco-friendly and philanthropic attributes of the welfare lottery industry.

Design Challenge

For a long time, the strategy of China's lottery promotional activities has been centered on prize-winning and public welfare. It was a big challenge for the designer to change the client's strategy to focus on fun through practical and reliable data analysis and comprehensive design. It was also a challenge to convey the concept accurately, appeal to young people and avoid under-ageing (minors are not allowed to buy lottery tickets in China).

Research

Through data analysis, researchers found that today's Chinese lottery players pay more attention to fun and socializing when purchasing lottery tickets than winning. As a result, a plan was developed to give the lottery a new label by creating a new brand with a fun, youthful theme. Further, the research found that the fun of buying lottery tickets comes from the excitement of chasing change, which became the core concept that ties the whole design together.

Inspiration

To solve Chinese lottery industry's difficulties in attracting youngsters, by studying language habits and social preferences of people, project creates a new brand for China welfare lottery's instant ticket promotion activities. The design deconstructs the excitement of seeking changes in dull life, which is the source of lottery's fun. With the visual system, designers build a world of fun and surprises for young players, and make scratching lotteries a new social currency for them.

Project Duration

The project started in March 2023 in Beijing and finished in October 2023 in Beijing.

Operation Flow

The brand "Gua Gua Xing Qiu (Scratch-off Planet)" will mainly serve as offline activity zone, hosting the welfare lottery's offline activities and centralizing the focus of them. In designers' visions, the new brand may build a group of young lottery players who regard scratching lottery as a new social trend, which is adapted to the context of contemporary Chinese Internet culture, and make scratching lottery tickets a topic of young culture.
