Project Description
William is a psychic who believes in creating space for others to be in, and it's transformative power. To reflect this, we designed his logomark inspired by constellations and space. Breaking up his words and using uniquely designed letters accomplished this. Gold, being the highest vibration that you can comfortably run in the human body was first choice to bring energy to his business card. Thin strokes give text motion, while being nicely structured and easily digestible to the eye. Integrating the quote was also a challenge, as we didn't want to have it compete with the contact information, so we paired it with a black-on-black look.Production Lesson(s)
When it came to the artwork, we were worried that the thin delicate lines would be an issue getting a good clean transfer. They were very thin. However, our printer was confident that we would be able to achieve this look. Seeing how well these turned out really opened our eyes to how delicate we can be with art and still have a beautiful look.
