There's a dangerous romance in the design industry with process. LoveFrom spent six months researching Ferrari's interior redesign. They delivered four books of research before a single design concept was even presented. Six months. Four books. For Ferrari, one of the most iconic brands on the planet. And the result? It looks like it belongs in a Fiat. This isn't a knock on LoveFrom specifically. It's a symptom of something much bigger: the industry has confused the weight of the process with the quality of the output. Here's the trap: when you spend six months doing research and deliver four bound books to a client, everyone in the room feels smart. The client feels validated because look at all this effort. The agency feels justified because look at all this work. The process becomes its own product. It starts generating its own momentum, its own gravity. And at some point, nobody can tell the difference between being thorough and actually being productive. But the customer who sits in that Ferrari interior doesn't care about four books. They don't care about six months of ethnographic research or mood boards or "strategic frameworks". They care about one thing: does this feel like a Ferrari? Does this make me feel something? And the answer, in this case, is a resounding no. This is what happens when agencies sell process as a proxy for talent. Process is a safety net. It gives everyone involved permission to not worry about whether the people doing the work are actually exceptional at the craft or the right people for the job. Because if the research was thorough, if the methodology was sound, if the strategy was airtight, then surely the output will be great, right? Wrong. Process doesn't design anything. People do. Process is just a tool. It is not the product. And the moment you confuse the two, you end up putting a Fiat interior into a Ferrari.

那么多年下来，葡萄🍇、樱桃🍒 都有自己的 Emoji，为啥"荔枝"却没 emoji 呢？ 今年上半年，我和我司设计师按照标准流程，向 Unicode 协会提交了"litchi"的 emoji 设计稿 / 申请函，就是下图。 为什么是"litchi" 而不是"lychee"? 是因为 Unicode 协会规定被拒绝的 emoji 表情有 4 年的冷却期，而其他人申请的"lychee" 在 2022 年被拒绝。 万幸"荔枝"有两个英文单词！ Unicode 协会的官网上，明确将在 2025年11月30日公布 emoji 的申请结果，也就是未来 10 天。 希望大家转发点赞互动支持一下。 万一我们设计的"荔枝"emoji 真被收录了，发券！
