RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The study investigates how modern illustration techniques can enhance appreciation for Jiangxi's local culture and advocate for its preservation. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, it explores the fusion of traditional Jiangxi culture with contemporary illustration practices, identifies resonant themes, and examines the potential of illustrations in promoting local culture.
CHALLENGE: The primary creative hurdle in the design process arises from cultural transformation. It involves integrating traditional Jiangxi local culture with modern illustration technology to ensure that the resulting form possesses both contemporary aesthetics and cultural resonance. Maintaining a balance between cultural preservation and innovation is crucial, necessitating consideration of how to preserve the original essence of the work while infusing it with freshness and distinctiveness.
