Creative Framework
Before starting creation, clarify three key questions:
1. Character Positioning
- Emotional connection: What emotion or personality does the character represent? Healing, funny, sarcastic, cute?
- Usage context: In what chat scenarios would users reach for this sticker?
- Memorability: One feature that makes the character memorable (round face, distinctive eyes, signature pose)
2. Market Positioning
- Target market: Japan (healing), Taiwan (local slang), Thailand (humor), Global (universal expressions)
- Competitive analysis: Strengths and weaknesses of similar stickers? How to differentiate?
- Pricing strategy: Paid vs free (ad-supported, promotional)
3. Series Planning
- Extensibility: Can the character support multiple sticker sets? Is there a storyline?
- Character family: Can supporting characters or a world be developed?
- Cross-media: Potential for animation, merchandise licensing?
