The Shamans

The Shamans

The idea for this project was to create a set of concepts that incorporate lots of colour and life. The briefs themselves involved taking an ancient or lost civilization and using it as a springboard for creating new and appealing designs and concepts. The main focus is that we spend the majority of our time making sure we contextualize the design decisions we make. Allowing the designs to be more accurate and therefore creating an understanding of appealing choices in our future.

The Shamans was a basic story I came up with to hinge a lot of experimental work within, particularly with a colourful yet organic style. the story based upon the classic good vs evil, and how in reality there is a lot more of a blurred line between the two. Through research of spiritual and medicinal means the idea came to be a bridging between the plain of reality we sit upon in our daily lives and the infinite capacity that the spiritual realm gives to us. This lead itself to creating much more creative and unique designs. the whole project itself was a blast to work on and helped me grow my artistic skills greatly.
