In the ethnic minority areas of Yunnan, due to the influence of multiple factors such as historical evolution, geographical location, religious beliefs, and social changes, a unique visual symbol language has been formed. This language is the external expression of the working people's aesthetic cognition, value orientation, and ideology. Studying and interpreting their cultural connotations and spiritual civilization is also necessary. It is also an essential source for its inheritance, application, and development. Therefore, through in-depth research on the pattern elements of Yunnan's ethnic minorities, comprehensive analysis from different aspects, and the integration of digital illustration design technology, its design thinking and methods are integrated with the ethnic symbols in contemporary design, thus creating a unique design and cultural characteristics.
