DESIGN NAME: Peoplestrology
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Identity for Astrology research
INSPIRATION: Mixing references to traditional aesthetics with contemporary elements, both Eksell and Heimat Mono fonts presents this characteristics and help shape a visual system with colors (black and white shows neutrality, other colors represents nature elements) and imagery (illustrations and photography style make reference to pop culture and contemporary art).
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Peoplestrolgy is a non profit research on how Astrology blends into our culture. Despite astrology's ancient history, which was forged by cultures that disappeared a long time ago, there’s no sign of it going away. Somewhere in the middle, for some people, the myth became fact. Or at least common and collective knowledge. These thoughts are just the start of a bigger conversation and for it to succeed we designed a visual identity that keeps away what's esoteric about Astrology.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Existing among many other Astrology projects, Peoplestrology stands out for not falling into mysticism and looking to it as a social phenomenon. Just like its purpose, visual solutions for this project embraces pop culture aesthetics instead of mystical imagery. This resonates with contemporary culture and attracts a young audience that is eager to embrace those ancient concepts in their lives.
