The Creative Concept Behind Liven
In the Bond Pickleball Planet, each member of the team has a unique personality. I aimed to express teamwork, mutual help, and warmth through the cute and playful characters. During the creative process, I carefully selected the most crucial elements while keeping the image simple and clear. For me, the warmth of the colour scale is represented by warm colours, with yellow being the most striking. This gives the overall image of the character a vibrant and visually captivating appearance.
The design of the main character, Cubby, underwent numerous adjustments and modifications not less than 40 times, but none yielded the desired results. In the end, I returned to the essence of what I wanted to express: warmth. But how could I visualize warmth? That's when I came up with the idea of a hug. By visualizing the warm feeling conveyed by the act of hugging, I associated it with a fluffy pet cat, which evokes a sense of warmth and comfort. Therefore, I molded the main image into a chubby character. And thus, the highly recognizable and joyful Cubby, radiating warmth, was born.
