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.
