- Design Challenge
- A primary challenge was achieving harmony between physical tactility and digital engagement. The team needed to align symbolic elements, such as snakes, gold, water, and the color red, with DAWHO's minimalist visual identity. The packaging had to serve both as a culturally resonant ceremonial object and as a seamless gateway to the mobile interaction experience.
- Research
- This project explores how modern banking can merge with traditional gifting customs. Based on research into Taiwanese Lunar New Year practices and the symbolism of red envelopes, the design creates a hybrid experience that connects analog rituals with digital interaction, maintaining emotional value while embracing technology.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by Chinese folklore about golden snakes bringing wealth and the custom of drinking fortune water for prosperity, this design reinterprets traditional beliefs through a contemporary perspective. The illustration of the Fountain of Fortune and the integration of a digital red envelope experience present ancient cultural elements in an accessible, playful, and meaningful format for modern audiences.
