Button Blessings ("BB") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Button Blessings Brand Design. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
BB : The main principle behind my design is to blend traditional culture with modern aesthetics, creating a meaningful connection between the past and present. Inspired by [specific cultural elements or themes], the design aims to evoke emotion and tell a story that resonates with today’s audience, while honoring heritage and craftsmanship. It focuses on simplicity, symbolism, and functionality to make the design both beautiful and relevant.
BB : My main focus in designing this work was core design goal, such as conveying cultural values, enhancing user experience, or creating emotional connections. I especially wanted to achieve specific objectives, such as making traditional elements more relevant to modern life, inspiring audience resonance, or breaking conventional design boundaries. Overall, I aimed for the design to be both meaningful and engaging, capturing attention and leaving a lasting impression.
BB : My future plans are to use this award-winning design to build credibility and reach a wider audience. I aim to apply it in real projects and continue improving based on feedback.
BB : It took our team about half a year to complete this design concept from the initial idea to the final version.
BB : We designed this concept based on our own inspiration and interest. It was not commissioned; rather, we wanted to explore and express ideas that are meaningful to us and relevant to contemporary culture.
BB : Currently, we plan to produce the design ourselves. We have no agreements with other companies to sell or lease the production rights at this time.
BB : We designed this particular type of work because it connects traditional culture with modern life in a meaningful way.
BB : No, there were no other designers involved, but we took inspiration from traditional temple carvings for reference.
BB : The target customers for this design are young people who are interested in traditional culture but prefer modern and practical items.
BB : This design stands out because it combines traditional temple culture with modern, wearable buttons, creating a unique blend that is both meaningful and practical for today’s youth.
BB : The name was chosen to reflect the connection between traditional blessings and everyday life. It symbolizes how ancient beliefs can be carried and shared through a simple, modern object like a button.
BB : We used Procreate and Adobe Illustrator for the design work.
BB : The most unique aspect of our design is how it blends traditional temple culture with modern aesthetics in a simple and meaningful way.
BB : Our team collaborated closely on this design. We worked mainly with designers in our team and consulted temple experts to ensure cultural accuracy. No external specialized technical partners were involved.
BB : Technology played a supporting role in creating this design. We used digital tools like Procreate and Adobe Illustrator to develop and refine the visuals, making the design process more efficient and precise.
BB : Our design was not directly influenced by data or analytical research. Instead, we based it on cultural observation and studying traditional temple carvings to ensure authenticity and respect for heritage.
BB : One challenge was balancing traditional elements with modern aesthetics to appeal to younger audiences while respecting cultural heritage. Another was ensuring the design worked well as a button, both functionally and visually.
BB : We wanted to share our design with a broader audience and test its impact on an international scale. Participating in a respected competition like the A' Design Award also allows us to gain valuable feedback and recognition from experts worldwide.
BB : During the design process, I learned to balance traditional cultural elements with modern aesthetics more effectively. It also improved my teamwork and communication skills, as our team collaborated closely to bring the concept to life.
BB : One important aspect is how this design aims to connect younger generations with traditional culture in a fresh and approachable way. We hope it can inspire more people to appreciate and engage with heritage through everyday objects.
