What

A qualitative case study investigated the use of digital art therapy for adolescents with intellectual disabilities in South Korea. The study found that digital media, such as apps for drawing and animation, enhanced self-expression and autonomy, particularly for those with difficulty in verbal communication.

The interactive and sensory-rich nature of digital tools provided a holistic experience, promoting emotional expression and engagement. This highlights the therapeutic potential of digital art in supporting mental health and well-being, especially for marginalized groups.

Why

The project began with a cross-functional team aligning on goals and priorities. User research was conducted through interviews and observational studies, revealing key pain points: riders felt anxious when waiting, and drivers had difficulty identifying the correct pickup spot.

Early insights highlighted the need for real-time, shared location data and visual cues to reduce ambiguity.

Dragonfly, a creative studio specializing in animation and storytelling, partnered with the National History Museum to produce Bug Explorer, an engaging animated short designed to teach children about insect biodiversity. The goal was to transform complex scientific information into a visually captivating and age-appropriate experience that would spark curiosity and learning in young audiences.

Why

The team began with extensive research on insect anatomy and behavior, collaborating closely with museum scientists to ensure accuracy. Early storyboards focused on simplifying scientific concepts through metaphor and humor—depicting ants as construction workers and bees as delivery pilots.

The animation style combined 2D character design with subtle 3D textures to create a tactile, immersive world. A major challenge was balancing educational content with entertainment; the solution lay in rhythmic pacing, playful sound design, and vibrant color coding for different insect families. Iterative feedback from educators helped refine the narrative flow and visual clarity.

When

Bug Explorer premiered at the museum and was later distributed to schools and online platforms, receiving praise for its educational value and creative execution. It significantly increased child visitor engagement at the museum’s insect exhibit and was adopted into several primary school science curricula. The case study highlights Dragonfly’s ability to merge science communication with artistic innovation, demonstrating how design can make learning joyful.

What

Miracle Next, a game development studio specializing in 3D modeling, created Prehistoric Chef, a whimsical and engaging game where players juggle prehistoric ingredients to prepare dishes for cavemen.

The primary challenge was to develop a visually cohesive and personality-driven world that balanced playful artistry with functional gameplay mechanics. The goal was to craft a unique identity for the game that would stand out in a crowded market while showcasing the studio’s artistic and technical capabilities.

Why

The project began with concept sketches and character design explorations, focusing on creating a cast of prehistoric characters with distinct personalities. Early rough drawings were used to experiment with proportions, expressions, and visual humor, ensuring the characters felt both ancient and endearing. The team then transitioned into 3D modeling, paying close attention to consistency in style and texture across all assets.

When

Prehistoric Chef was released to positive reception, praised for its vibrant visuals, creative concept, and engaging gameplay. The game’s unique art style became a defining feature, with players and critics alike highlighting the studio’s ability to blend humor, creativity, and technical skill.

The case study not only demonstrates Miracle Next’s 3D modeling expertise but also their deep understanding of narrative-driven design, proving that art and function can coexist seamlessly in interactive media.

Why

Finally, a case study on digital art exhibitions in China focused on the ZEPETO app, a 3D virtual avatar platform, where five artists created themed exhibition halls titled Newborn Party and Newborn Paradise.

The exhibition explored the relationship between virtual identities and personal image, encouraging users to engage with their digital avatars and reflect on the social value of virtual existence in the digital era.

When

A case study on the Metaverse explored its potential for digital art, using a 3D virtual gallery housing AI-generated art created with diffusion models. Surveying 67 individuals, the study found that 85.3% had already encountered AI-generated artwork, and the majority held optimistic views about the Metaverse’s role in democratizing art access and enabling global exhibitions.

This suggests the Metaverse could serve as a powerful platform for artists and audiences alike, breaking down traditional barriers of physical space and cost.
