Yes, it is essential to do research when incorporating cultural allusions into a design. Especially if you are not part of that certain culture. It may be better to gather more information from someone of that culture as well other than research from the internet.

I agree! Additionally, using a diverse team of designers and collaborators can help to bring a variety of perspectives and avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Ultimately, the goal should be to create a design that is culturally sensitive and respectful while also effectively communicating the intended message.

If possible, work with sensitivity readers or cultural consultants who can provide valuable feedback and insights to help you navigate cultural references appropriately.

Designing cultural references carefully and subtly avoids stereotypes. Designers shouldn’t stereotype cultures. To guarantee cultural truth and respect, consult numerous views and talk to people from the culture being described.
