Current Needs
We’re finalizing a brand strategy process and product line at the moment, and will be able to share a more detailed brief with positioning, design targets, and more with interested candidates.
What we need from our designer:
- Maker’s Mark and Logo
- To be stamped/printed on products, labels/hang tags, and packaging ranging from textile goods like meditation cushions and robes, to limited artist-made products such as functional sculpture, studio furniture, lighting objects, and white-label goods.
- Brand Identity & Style Guide
- Maker’s Mark and Logo
- Possibility to extend to: packaging materials, additional marketing assets, feature illustrations for print products, etc.
Design considerations
- Integrating themes from Eastern wisdom traditions with the vibrant creative freedom of contemporary art cultures & subcultures
- Intelligent and artistically playful/courageous drawing from a wealth of available symbolism and art culture, while gracefully avoiding appropriation and/or new-age cheesiness
What we’re looking for
- Existing knowledge in the history, aesthetics, themes, and symbolism emerging from eastern wisdom traditions like those of Tibet, Japan, Korea, India, China etc
- Passion for the history of western cultural movements and subcultures in the arts, music, film, etc (early modernism, Bauhaus, Dada, Fluxus, Post-modernism, etc, etc)
- Good grasp of typefaces and their cultural histories and connotations
- Cultural sensitivity
- Bonus points if you share an interest in meditation or contemplative practices
