02 设计过程 | PROCESS
QQ，是互联网产品长青的一个传说，汇集了每个用户自己的QQ时光历程，探索未来和未来科技是这次设计的主旋律。本次联名设计围绕“探索，科技”进行视觉融合，从而牵引出每个人和QQ之间关于成长、青春、沟通、时代流动的感知与回忆。
QQ，a legend of the evergreen internet products in China, which brings together each user's own QQ time course. Exploring the future and technology is the main theme of this design. This co-brand design revolves around "exploration and technology" for visual fusion, so as to draw out the perceptions and memories of everyone’s link with QQ concerning growth, youth, communication, and the flow of the times.
核心元素 |THE ELEMENT
确定了主题之后，开始进行关键词发散，提取视觉元素。
Once the theme is confirmed, the designer needs to diffuse the key words and extract the visual elements.
视觉探索 | EXPLORE
A.构图创意 | CREATIVITY
QQ通过取样具有时代特征的日常片段、互联网络和太空宇宙等元素进行设计，以缤纷多彩的配色映射年轻人多元的生活态度。埋藏了许多引爆回忆的小彩蛋，从而和用户产生共情。
QQ is designed by sampling the daily clips with the characteristics of the times, the Internet, and the space universe, which reflects the diverse attitudes of young people by using various colors. The small surprises which detonate memories are embedded, which struck a responsive chord in the hearts of QQ users.
用QQ的形象延展了不同的宇航员形象，辅以大片流动的装饰元素环绕角色附近，增加画面的氛围感外，也表达了QQ在时代变迁的湍流变幻中勇于尝试的探索者精神。为了完整呈现QQ的形象和考虑到后面有延展周边和适配不同的个性化 主题的需求，所以每个角色都是单独可以抽取出来做图案的，构图整体会采用平铺的形式。
The images of different astronauts are created by extending the QQ image, which are supplemented by the decorative elements standing for the flow. In addition to increasing the sense of atmosphere, this design also expresses the spirit of brave explorers in the turbulent changes of the times. In order to fully present the image of QQ and further extend of surroundings and adapt to the different personalized themes, each character could be individually extracted for designing the patterns, and the overall composition will be in the form of tiles.
画风上因为是宇宙主题，主色调希望是既能体现宇宙浩瀚深邃，充满未知的特性，又能体现QQ特色。所以最后确定主色调为蓝色，辅以黄色，紫色，通过小面积的撞色来调动画面气氛。
Due the style of universe theme, the main color is designed to present the vastness of the universe which is full of the unknow, also presents the characteristics of QQ. Finally, we determined to use the blue supplemented by yellow and purple as the main colors, and increase the atmosphere by using the small area of contrast colors.

【Creative Planning】
结合现有的美术画风，用2D逐帧的方式能够更好的表现QQ和BE@RBRICK的潮流文化，把BE@RBRICK塑造成一只宇航员，自由穿梭在时空中探索。
In order to combine with the current art style, the 2D frame-by-frame can better express the trend culture of QQ and BE@RBRICK by shaping BE@RBRICK into an astronaut freely to explore in space and time.

从一个老式电脑穿越到时空隧道，我们遇到了各个QQ星球和一只带着氧气罩的宇航员BE@RBRICK，它们穿梭在时光宇宙中，碰撞出QQ眼中热烈的火花，完美地融合在最后出现的产品当中。
From an old computer to a space-time tunnel, we met various QQ planets and an astronaut BE@RBRICK with an oxygen hood. They shuttled through the time universe, finally collided with the hot sparks in the eyes of QQ, and perfectly merged in the final appearance of the product.
【Color Script】
第一版配色整体以蓝橙配色，后面考虑主产品本身是色彩纷呈的，所以对颜色增加了不同的配对方案；另外，部分元素加入了纹理，丰富画面层次和调度氛围。
The first version of the color matching is overall blue and orange, and later we considered that the main product itself is colorful, so different matching schemes are added to the color. In addition, some elements have added textures to enrich the picture hierarchy and scheduling atmosphere.
