Something to learn from Squid Game

This South Korean survival drama television series making headlines.

It's a personal choice. I don't encourage anyone to go and watch. This post I'm just sharing my personal experience and perspectives.

There are many things I've noted from design side which separates it from other series.

Uniqueness

Mysterious dystopian thriller with uniqueness in every character and every game

Limited colors

Very limited colors used throughout series

In depth research

In depth research done for each character

Characters

Compelling characters includes all age groups

Shapes/ Layouts

Different shapes everywhere, each game has different layout and design

Simple

Simple Old traditional games

Background

Unique background with depth

Content

Very simple easily understandable predictable content

Brand

Focus on branding apart from normal story telling techniques

Personally I like this dialogue :)

"Life is like a game, there are many players. If you don't play with them, they'll play with you."

A good design can inspire - Design is everywhere and if you do good research than you can inspire and make a difference.

Thanks for reading!
