ÓS Creative Renaissance

Design Talk & Gallery

The intention with this design is to convey, in a symbolically clear way, the feelings that such a gathering would feel like– One of coming together in harmony through creative exchange; in exploration of what brings us closer together and strengthen our connection. 

The symbol that serves as a center piece is a tree of light. Its roots are connected to the hearts of the humans that nurture it. This link to our center is here to remind us the importance of recognizing this life force within each other, independently if we like them or not.

The trunk of this tree is represented as both a double helix and an abstraction of sound waves, forming its core & identity through the language we share. Finally, the branches express the expansion of this coming together.

These lines follow a flow that is inspired by a creative composition of the Fibonacci pattern (golden ratio), leading to a harmonious distribution between each other and its elements.

At the bottom of this illustration, the 7 influences of the Creative Renaissance are represented with icons that serve as the foundation for our conversations and collective actions.


Concept & Experimentation

Here's the project's page where we wrote the initial ideas and key concepts. Some of those are: "Unity through collective action", "Excitement & enlightenment", "Supporting individual change through collective conversation"

In this page you'll find playful experimentations on faces to add to the poster, as well as versions of the hearts and compositions.

The writing on the center-top reads like this:

  • "+ Revitalizing our respective of life, true self-empowerment."
  • "+ re-exploration of our expression within our community." 


The Draft before the Final

Here's the final hand-drawn poster that I used to base the illustration.

Some more subtle symbols that we'd like to highlight here are:

1. The final poster kept the cursive title that was intended since the beginning, honoring the hand-writing that has accompanied us through the studies and journaling process.

2. 8 beings & branches: Along with the esoteric symbol of eight, this reference stays in our hearts as the alchemical sum of this year 2024 equals this number.

3. Honoring the hermetic principle "As Above, So Below", the star and the seed (see final version) are inverted to accentuate this relationship; from our inner light we are able to create the seeds of transcendence.
