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?
