Design Talk | 1500 Travelloggers Want to Tell What We Look Like to the World

Users who have successfully airdropped and pre-ordered may have discovered that your Travelloggers have a description. (For example, Matty's Travelloggers description is: A compassionate, LGBTQ friendly Valya )

These characteristics come from the different value positions, philosophical propositions, temperaments and thinking styles displayed by the creators and community users of Matters. 1500 Travelloggers with 1500 individual traits.

From the outset, it was clear that Travelloggers wanted to tell stories that were relevant to this community and close to the creators. The inspiration for the creation of Travelloggers comes from you.

We hope to show these key features through small objects, colors, expressions, actions and other elements in Travelloggers, but because of the coarse particles, it is difficult to accurately correspond to each keyword in the design (some may require a lot of brain holes) You can only think of XDD), but some of you may have seen it, such as the rainbow flag, the mask of the unknown, etc., all have a clearer position.

Today I will talk to you, what are the keywords contained in these 1500 Travelloggers?

【Value Position】

We all enter the world with prejudice. Facing the same event, we often have different value positions, which is also one of the cores of creation.

Therefore, we screened some value positions that are common today and are more common in the Matters community. As the political spectrum becomes more complex, each of the following value propositions can actually be split into so many different angles that Travelloggers owners can make their own interpretations.

Value positions embedded in Travelloggers include:

 Conservatism, Value Diversity, Individualism, Collectivism, Feminism, Gender-Friendly, Liberalism, Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism, Anti-Warism, Anarchism, Nativism

【Philosophical proposition】

The philosophical proposition mentioned here refers to the way we understand the world, whether it is skeptical or rational, pessimistic or optimistic, etc., which creates the background of our creation.

Value positions embedded in Travelloggers include:

 Skepticism, rationalism, existentialism, capitalism, Marxism, romanticism, pragmatism, pessimism, optimism, cynicism, Epicureanism

The designer expresses the different philosophical propositions of Travelloggers by referring to the classic characters in these genres. I wonder if you have found it?

【Characteristics of thinking and behavior】

In the community, we can often see different styles of writing and behavior. Some authors are good at logical reasoning, while others are imaginative and love unrestrained literary creation. Some citizens actively participate in community building, while others are more silent and observant. ; There are many users who have amazing hands-on ability and have created many plugins for Matters; some are quite adventurous and like to try new things, such as those who participated in the NFT wave.

We categorize the observed thinking and behavioral characteristics into the following categories:

 Extroversion: More interested in the objective outside world. Pay attention to the changes in the external and objective world, and make creative judgments accordingly Introvert: pay more attention to the inner world of people, are more interested in spiritual growth and other issues, like self-examination and speculation: prefer to use logic to draw conclusions, value the logic of things, Tend to perceive the world in a structured way Perception: pay more attention to the feelings of characters than the logic of things, tend to perceive the world in an unstructured way, empathic ability enriches the imagination: often have wild imagination, rely more on intuition to understand Pragmatic type: Focus on the current perceptible things, and rely more on their own real observations, field interviews, etc. to create. Practitioner: willing to put in practical actions to change the environment in which they live, with strong hands-on and practical ability, such as standing Many volunteer engineers adventurers: curious about the unknown and willing to take risks, such as many NFT experimenters Active citizens: interested in public affairs, and willing to work hard for public affairs without expecting anything in return, in their view Participating in public affairs is also an important way to improve oneself, such as architects on the station, user observers who initiate activities: they participate less in practice and public affairs, are quiet and silent, and are good at observing changes in the world, so as to adjust Own way of behavior Traveler: people who travel around the world or have cross-regional life experience, have cross-cultural experience, and have diverse perspectives

The above thinking and behavioral characteristics are embedded in the design of Travelloggers, expressed through accessories such as binoculars, clocks, bucket hats, or different colors and special symbols.

【Temperament and Character】

The last set of keywords relates to temperament and character. Character gives us edges, becomes more human, and shapes our choices. Traveloggers' personalities include: self-discipline, dashing, rebellious, gregarious, aggressive, indifferent, confused, firm.

The character is neutral, there is no distinction between good and bad, and different characters have their own charm, creating a charming temperament.

Value stance, philosophical proposition, way of thinking and temperament, the complex and far-reaching content is difficult to fully convey through simple design. However, we hope that this time Travelloggers are close to the creators and are connected to Matters' past and future stories, so these key features closely related to creators and communities are integrated into Travelloggers. You are also very welcome to create your own understanding and stories for your Travelloggers.
