Reborn Troops

Master Zhongshan nodded: "Yes, art. You can design stickers into a unique work of art, each of which contains a story and an emotion.

In this way, customers buy not only a sticker, but an experience and a resonance.”

Zhou Wanwan’s eyes lit up, as if she saw a new direction: “Master, you are right! I have been pursuing the splendor of the surface, but ignored the inner value.

If I can design stickers as works of art, then their value is no longer limited to price, but the transmission of emotions and culture.”

Master Zhongshan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you finally understand. However, this road is not easy, you need more learning and accumulation."

Zhou Wanwan nodded firmly: "Master, I am willing to try. Can you guide me?"

Master Zhongshan smiled and waved his folding fan gently: "Of course.

But you have to remember that art doesn’t happen overnight; it takes time and patience.”

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan began to redesign her stickers under the guidance of Master Zhongshan.

She no longer pursues gorgeous gemstone inlays, but focuses on the smoothness of lines and the expression of artistic conception. Each sticker seems to tell a story or an emotion.

However, when she put the first batch of art stickers on the shelves, they were once again met with a cold reception.

Customers looked at these simple stickers and shook their heads: "Isn't this too simple? Not as good as the previous limited edition."

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank again. She looked at Master Zhongshan helplessly: "Master, why do people still not like it?"

Master Zhongshan did not answer directly, but picked up a sticker, gently stuck it on the back of the phone, and handed it to her: "Look, doesn't it feel better this way?"

Zhou Wanwan took the phone and found that the sticker was integrated with the phone, as if the phone itself had become a work of art. She was stunned for a moment, and then she understood something:

"Master, what you mean is... stickers are not just decorations, they should form a harmonious whole with the phone itself?"

Master Zhongshan nodded: “That’s right, art is not just about surface beauty, it also needs to resonate with the surrounding environment.

You have to make customers feel that the sticker is not just a sticker on the phone, it is a part of the phone and a part of life.”

Zhou Wanwan suddenly realized what was going on, and she immediately began to readjust her design ideas.

Combine stickers with the material, color and shape of your phone to create a whole new visual effect.

Zhou Wanwan was immersed in the inspiration of designing stickers when she suddenly heard brisk footsteps coming from outside the door.

She looked up and saw her younger brother Zhou Guo walking in excitedly with a stack of drawings in his hand.

"Sister, what do you think of these stickers I designed?" Zhou Guo spread the drawings on the table, his face full of anticipation.

Zhou Wanwan looked carefully and found that these stickers were themed on snakes, with smooth lines and various shapes, some coiled in circles, some winding forward,

There was even a snake spitting out its tongue, with a sharp look in its eyes. She couldn't help but brighten up: "Guoguo, did you design all these?"

Zhou Guo nodded proudly: "Yes! This year is the Year of the Snake, so I thought of designing some stickers that fit the occasion.

You see, I used gradient colors on the scales of this snake to make it look more three-dimensional.

And this one, I added some patterns to make it look more mysterious.”

The more Zhou Wanwan looked at it, the more interesting it became. She couldn't help but pick up a sticker and examine it carefully: "Guoguo, your design is very creative!

The shapes and details of these snakes are well handled, especially the coiled snake, which gives people a calm feeling. "

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Sister, I think stickers are not just decorations, they can also convey a culture.

Snakes have special symbolic meanings in many cultures, such as wisdom, rebirth, mystery and so on.

If we can incorporate these elements into stickers, then they are no longer just decorations.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully: "You are right, I have always been pursuing artistry.

But the cultural connotation is ignored. If stickers can be designed as a carrier of culture, their value will be higher.”

Zhou Guo clapped his hands excitedly: "Sister, why don't we cooperate!

You are responsible for the art design, and I am responsible for the integration of cultural elements. Together we will create a batch of unique Year of the Snake stickers!"

Zhou Wanwan's eyes flashed with hesitation: "But... the previous art stickers did not receive a good response, I'm worried that this time will be the same..."

Zhou Guo interrupted her: "Sister, don't worry! This time is different, we not only have artistry, but also cultural connotations.

Besides, there is a market for Year of the Snake stickers. As long as we design them well, they will definitely be popular!"

Zhou Wanwan was infected by her brother's enthusiasm and finally nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try!"

In the next few days, the brother and sister began to work closely together.

Zhou Wanwan is responsible for the overall design and line processing of the stickers, while Zhou Guo is responsible for the integration of cultural elements and the improvement of details.

After several days of hard work, they finally designed a batch of Year of the Snake stickers. These stickers not only have different shapes, but also incorporate rich cultural elements.

Zhou Wanwan looked at these stickers with anticipation in her heart: “Guoguo, the design this time is really great!

I think they are more than just stickers, they are more like pieces of art.”

Zhou Guo smiled and nodded: "Sister, we will definitely succeed this time!"

However, when they put the Year of the Snake stickers on the shelves, they were once again met with a cold reception.

Customers looked at the stickers and shook their heads: "Snake? That's too scary, right? Who would put something like that on their phone?"

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank again. She looked at Zhou Guo helplessly: "Guoguo, why do people still not like it?"

Zhou Guo frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "Sister, I understand! We ignored the psychology of customers.

Although snakes have a lot of cultural connotations, for many people, they still carry a sense of fear. We needed to make these stickers look more approachable and cute.”

Zhou Wanwan suddenly realized: "You are right! We can design the image of the snake to be more cartoonish.

Or add some humor to make them less scary.”

Zhou Guo nodded: "That's right! We can also add some blessings on the stickers.

For example, "Good luck in the Year of the Snake" and "Wisdom is like a snake" make customers feel that these stickers are not only beautiful, but also bring good luck."

The brother and sister immediately started a new round of designs. They designed the snakes to be rounder and cuter, and even added smiley faces and playful expressions to them.
