Five Ways Your Brand Can Utilise Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ release was perfectly timed with the COVID-19 lockdown period.

The game has been carefully designed, is moderated and not even swearing is allowed. The risk of making a social faux-pas remains low. Yet, the opportunity for creativity is abundant.

Diversity of experiences and perspectives is vital precisely because we all have our blind spots. That’s why it’s important for designers to actually engage their audiences and users to get a better understanding of what’s important to them, how they use what you design and how they see and interpret what you create.
