    MetaMorph

    Cartoonification represents a transformative shift in how we perceive the world, fueled by advancements in design and technology. Combining escapism and playfulness, it merges idealized forms with practical, visually captivating innovations. Rooted in gaming culture and the Metaverse, this trend bridges virtual and physical realms, while AI-driven creativity introduces surreal elements, reshaping surfaces, textures, and shapes into vibrant visuals inspired by anime, comics, and games.
    This project aims to explore how cartoonification expands creative horizons, blending hyperrealism with cartoon-inspired designs and anthropomorphic features. By delving into the playful shapes, surreal aesthetics, and digital-physical collaborations that define this trend, the project encourages participants to reimagine the boundaries of design. It highlights how immersive fantasy realms can offer fresh perspectives in a rapidly evolving cultural and technological landscape.
