Archetype
Archetype is a basic story pattern or character type that helps designers quickly build creative narratives that feel familiar and engaging. In design, using archetypes gives structure to stories, making it easier to communicate ideas and connect with audiences. For example, the hero or explorer archetype can guide the way a brand or product is presented, shaping everything from visuals to the tone of voice. Designers often use archetypes to make sure the story behind a design is clear and easy for people to understand, which helps the message stick in people's minds. Archetypes can be mixed or adapted to fit new trends, giving designers a flexible tool for storytelling.
