Description
Designed to turn an ordinary photo into a visual expression of everyday life worth remembering. The upper half shows the original photo; the lower half distills a pose, plant, pet, architectural detail, or household object into a clear, rounded little emblem with a subtle handmade feel. Soft gouache, naive linework, colored-pencil grain, and paper texture coexist. The symbols are small, floating in clean negative space, while the text resembles a small label from a lifestyle brand. The palette is fresh and warm: warm cream, light beige, plant green, misty blue, dusty pink, soft coral, and light apricot. Avoid complete stories, complex backgrounds, excessive cuteness, and template-like icons.

ImageSoft Totem｜xiaoxiaodong P291
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into a preserved memory symbol. The top half shows the original photo; the bottom half distills the subject into a rounded, soft, slightly imprecise organic shape, like a blend of journal doodles and marks from a vintage picture book. Pencil, crayon, and dry-paint textures remain on the paper. A single symbol floats in ample negative space, with fine, light lettering that leaves room to breathe around the symbol. The palette uses cream, warm beige, olive, honey yellow, soft brown, burgundy, and misty blue, with just a touch of vivid color for emphasis. Avoid complex scenes, vector icons, 3D, cartoon IP, and excessive refinement.
Warm Symbol xiaoxiaodong P295
Ideal for turning an ordinary photo into a small, collectible mark. The upper half shows the original image; the lower half compresses the subject into a simple, rounded, slightly unbalanced silhouette. The hand-drawn outline can feel a little clumsy, while colored-pencil and crayon textures, paper grain, and a touch of Riso misregistration remain. There is only one symbol, slightly off-center and quietly placed in a large area of whitespace, with text resembling a private collection number. The palette is calm and lived-in: warm ivory, mist blue, sage, creamy yellow, and soft coral. Avoid complex scenes, commercial mascots, anime, smooth vector art, 3D, and template icons.
ImageFolk P306 | xiaoxiaodong
Ideal for distilling an ordinary photo into a folk pattern designed to be preserved for a long time. The top half shows the original image; the bottom half uses a paper-cut silhouette, broad areas of flat color, and a few interior carved lines. Forms may overlap slightly, preserving the naive quality of folk motifs. Symbols are small and blank space is abundant, with an off-center layout and paper texture and misregistration along the edges. Text appears as a small note beside a handmade stamp. The palette is simple yet lively: powder blue, off-white, botanical green, coral red, warm yellow, and ochre, with clear visual hierarchy. Avoid complete scenes, smooth vector graphics, commercial cartoon styling, 3D, and a cheap merchandise aesthetic.
