What might work for you, doesn't always work for someone else. A fact extra prevalent to people from different areas where you live. The area, or areas, you grow up in can affect how you see things in many different ways, dependent on culture, the scenery, and laws. As such, today's blog, we'll be going over regional differences, what some people of different countries like, regulations from them, and other intricacies. Let's get started right now!
Now, one interesting detail when it comes to design across the world is how people read. Obviously, different languages need to be taken into account; we also need to look at their reading layout. The Japanese for example read from right to left, instead of left to right. As such, you'll find their art will usually reflect that. Common English slang and expressions don't exist across seas either, so their dialogue may be more direct.
Something to keep note of however that is less part of the creative process however is legality. Not every country has the same views on copyright laws, it's why bootleg products exist in certain areas. As such, it's best you know these laws beforehand when creating the look and feel of the product. This also applies to how you advertise the product, as there's certain restrictions you may have. Copyright of other countries can be a hassle, sure, but it's best to see it as another hurdle to challenge your creativity.
Given all of this information, it's still only a glimmer of what I could explain. I still have more to learn about it really, as is the case in this business. However, I hope that we can all learn about regional differences, and add them to designs in meaningful ways! Once again, thank you for reading, and stay tuned!
