Originally filed by me:
Some of the visuals that we gathered to represent alchemy for Flock! Also going to post on the flock postcards ticket
On the penpot brainstorm, we explored how Alchemy related to Prague. It was during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II that Prague got a mystical, alchemist reputation as he funded and brought Alchemists to search for the Philosopher’s stone. This was around 1500-1600 which was the tail end of the Middle Ages so we can bring in elements of a medieval aesthetic to make it more gothic and otherworldly.
The overall concept I was going for was:
I have some sketches and ideas based on the above visuals Madeline posted, and the research gathered.
This is a night sky with those medieval stars that were in one of the visuals on the penpot brainstorm. We can play around with the gradient with the Fedora blues or purples and add some texture to make an interesting background. This would be nice for a general background for the likes of the name badges or social media posts.
Again pulling inspiration from one of the graphics that was done in a medieval, almost heraldic style.
Alchemists were brought to Prague to search for the Philosopher’s stone. This is Colur as one of them. I combined elements from portraits from two famous Alchemists, Edward Kelley and John Dee.
This is Colur 'discovering' the Philosopher’s Stone, but instead of the Philosopher’s Stone it’s Fedora. The colours radiating out from it are the four foundation colours - this is what makes up Fedora and is reflective of Flock’s cfp themes.
Again this is imagining Fedora as the Philosopher’s Stone - this time up close and sparkly to show that it’s magical.
These are reference to the decorative corners you see on medieval manuscripts. I took inspiration from chapter dividers in a text written by John Dee, one of the Alchemists brought to Prague by Emperor Rudolf, and also some generic decorations too. I incorporated Fedora’s four foundation icons and colours.
Hopefully we have time to discuss on today's call :D I would like to get vectorising soon
Why not make the Fedora's Stone have the colors shown in the background of 4?
The concept is very interesting, and the illustrations are very nice. I think number 5 is more suitable for highlighting Fedora’s colors than number 4 :)
I had another idea, how about we merge either 4 and 6 or 5 and 6?
@armanwu @niknikovsky Thanks for the ideas! I'm going to start vectorizing the sketches as part of #10
Doing so will allow us to chop and change and merge all different elements of these! Kinda like a sticker sheet but for creating the graphics and assets needed for Flock :D
I'll post any progress on #10 going forward and share on the next design call :) Thanks!
