The fusion.
I love what happens when great design minds come together. While it can make a process 10 times longer than it really needs to be, the end result is a culmination of beautiful elements that create a masterpiece! I’ve got a couple of recent projects that really illustrate the things that happen when creative people mesh their minds together in the name of creation…
The first project was a logo design for Solar, the reincarnation of Karma cafe. People I love dearly were involved in this project so I was really able to connect with some ownership on the end result here. What started as a few lines…turned into a few leaves…and ended with a splash of metropolis meets (insert clever word that begins with M here). With help from another designer friend, the cafe owner, and one design goddess, we were in business. While this isn’t the final final version, it’s close enough to post online for the www to see.
The second project began several months ago and with some creative input from the author, also a fabulous friend of mine, we came up with a rough book cover for “Urban Soul Warrior.” However when you’re publishing a book it’s not uncommon for the publisher to take push the initial design to their team to add their own flare to it. I’m soooo glad they did, because this is what happened…and it speaks volumes of what’s inside.
I guess the end result here is that you get to see what your design intuition paired with the creative energy of others can produce… a very rewarding experience. My love and energy goes out to both of these projects. Check Solar’s site frequently for updates, we will be launching soon, and be sure to check out Soft Skull’s site for Urban Soul Warrior by Lalania Simone.
Peace! Until nextime…
