This project is built around “Doudou,” a character based on my dog who accompanied me for years, and it explores themes of disappearance and imagined continuation. I created a dreamlike, surreal narrative zine, developing a world through characters, scenes, and chapter-based storytelling. From this visual system, I extended the project into a cohesive merchandise concept and presented it through a simulated market-stall setup. The outcome maps a complete workflow from story development and visual identity to product outputs and physical display design, testing the feasibility of narrative-led IP development and cultural product translation.
