Unchosen Concepts
Key Words: Moody, Shadow, Wilderness, Ancestral, Dark & Wild, Truth Seeking, Strength, Courage, Transformative
​
Concept Summary: I read that the 'Shadow' can appear in different forms via a person's dreams & visions. It could be visualized as a snake, monster, demon, dragon, etc. These depictions are rather dark or could be considered 'Bad'. I want this to be a visual representation of all the negative or unconscious behaviors a person could hold...repressed thoughts, weaknesses, hate, etc. The Serpent or snake will be in the background...a figurative shadow. I'd like a hawk to be in front of it representing strength..the one who can make the choice to capture the snake as prey once it's discovered. The shadow must be uncovered to bring in the light or history repeats itself.
Key Words: Into the light, Symbolism, Shadow, Illuminating, Wilderness, Transformative
​
Concept Summary: One of the most literal & naturalistic symbols of light and dark, The Sun and Moon. Both are inevitable. Both illuminate. Both create shadows. The light in both settings can be used as guidance or wayfinding to get to the place you are looking for.
Key Words: Into the light, Shadow, Deep, Moody, Guided, Illuminating, Wilderness
​
Concept Summary: This concept plays closest to the original funnel... the dark woods that expose the light. Almost the feeling of an enchanted forest. You have walk through the woods to get to the light. Grow through what you go through. You cant let your shadows take control of the wheel. You need to dig deep to recognize them to know how to control them when they present themselves. These visuals look dark but I want the light to illuminate through the woods

Branding
Key Visuals
Design Intent
This concept is a bit deep and dives into the darker side of the psyche. The shadow Archetype shows up as unconscious patterns, addictions, triggers, etc. and contains things you might not even be aware you are holding. Those 'things' are all unacceptable attributes such as: envy, greed, prejudice, hate, aggression, etc. In this concept, I wanted to represent the shadow as a dark presence within a human figure incorporating dark, grungey textures and ink blots from a Rorschach test (a test used by psychologists to tap into a person's perception). Within the shadow, there will be some sort of path to the light.

Branding
Style Guide
I created a branding style guide that will be used in conjunction with the chosen KV to define the course and marketing materials look & feel. It contains: headline font styles, color palette, background images, a section mockup, quotation styling, social graphics & iconography

Social
These ads were a lot of fun becasue I was able to create unique deisgns riffing off the original keyvisual artwork & tierchiary brand elements. We also had the opprotunity to A/B test graphics to see which imagery landed better with the audience. Test A included the key visuals and Test B was Caroline Myss' headshot. Historically, her image usually outproforms since shes a very popular teacher in the wellness space. To our suprise, the imagery of the key visual (test A) out performed the authors well-known headshot! ​
