Annotation

Taking a photo-studio brand named Naive Blue as a case study, this paper explores translingual practices as stylistic strategies for commercial aims in the globalization era. Sociolinguistic assay of the brand logo, shop signs and social media promotional practices displays that translingual practices have been mobilized as generative and interactive strategies of consumer design in urban China.
