New Door Gods"
Through exquisite graphic design and innovative media applications, New Door Gods allows children to rediscover the culture of door gods in a digital environment. This project redefines the role of door gods as digital gatekeepers by using vibrant colors, meticulous image composition, and a design language that aligns with modern aesthetics. New Door Gods is a visual reinvention of cultural heritage—an attempt to revitalize traditional design elements in the contemporary era.
The project originates from the decline of traditional door god paintings. By extending and expanding the original protective meaning of door gods, it serves as both a reminder of the fragility of traditional culture and a reflection of its gradual disappearance. By integrating contemporary aesthetics with everyday needs, this project brings the imagery of door gods back into modern consciousness. Through an innovative and engaging style, it merges modern design with traditional culture, incorporating contemporary artistic elements and everyday objects to create a stronger emotional connection with the audience. The door gods not only continue their role as cultural protectors but also safeguard the digital era.

This reimagines traditional door guardians as digital protectors for the mobile age, ensuring that the cultural significance of the 24 solar terms lives on through door gods.
