Excellent products need not only technical content, but also cultural value. Nowadays, Domatters believes that designers of many brands developed in China have realized the importance of culture to design and actively seek directions from traditional Chinese culture, but the effect is not satisfactory. Most designs only mention imitations that remain on the surface, but do not get the connotation of traditional culture, because they do not know how to correctly combine traditional culture with product design.The Brands should be innovative and original and find a better way to integrate traditional Chinese culture with the modern world, advanced technology, and non-Chinese culture.Let’s take a look at how Pepsi does it.
