Inspiration
I was inspired by watching “Legal Report” of CCTV, it’s a famous legal program in China. On 14th July 2020, it told a real story about an eleven-year-old boy was addicted to playing online games, and he spent all his mother’s medical expenses on games so that his mother had no money for medical care.
Research
A lot of pay-for-free games are designed to become addictive. You play for free, but once you’ve invested time and effort into your game, you start paying real money to progress further into the game. With people spending huge sums of money on virtual items.
Main Screen
Many games use gold coins as virtual currency, which helped me think of miners, so I finally decided to use digging to represent the time’s processes. In term of color, yellow is the main color. In the shallow sense, it is the color of ‘coins’ and ‘time is money’ is the deeper sense.
