Project Overview
Shannon Hugman’s Analogies, Energies & Celestial Bodies dives deep into the realm of astrology, offering readers a profound guide to understanding and navigating cosmic energies. This collaboration aimed to translate Shannon’s insightful celestial narratives into a visually captivating book design that resonates with both the novice and the seasoned astrologer.
The Solution
Our design journey mirrored the fluid and dynamic essence of the astrological themes Shannon explores. The final cover features striking images from NASA, capturing the vastness and vibrancy of the cosmos, and was timed to launch with the Spring equinox—an auspicious moment that aligns with the themes of renewal and universal connectivity explored in the book.
Inside, the layout facilitates an intuitive journey through complex astrological concepts, using Shannon's accessible analogies to bridge the physical and nonphysical realms, illustrating how the cosmic expanse plays out within each individual.
Extended Narrative
Analogies, Energies and Celestial Bodies is more than just an astrology book; it’s a tool for personal discovery and societal reflection. Shannon positions the book as a guide for those looking to forge their own paths beyond societal expectations, using the cosmos as a template for personal and collective evolution. By presenting key ingredients in the recipe of creation and creativity, the book encourages readers to become artists of their own lives, crafting their existence with the conscious use of cosmic energies.
Impact
The book’s design complements its profound astrological wisdom, creating a gateway for readers to explore and influence the cosmos through Shannon’s guided expertise. It’s a harmonious blend of cosmic insights and visual artistry that invites readers to make masterpieces of their lives. Shannon’s role as a “cosmic meteorologist,” combined with her engaging daily forecasts and high-rated podcast, further enriches the reader's experience, providing them with the tools to navigate and harness the energies that shape our world.
“This was the first time I had worked with a designer, and before connecting with Laura I was intimidated by the process. Not only was Laura kind and down-to-Earth, she made the whole process easy and fun!
Working with Laura was nothing short of a dream come true. She was receptive to my visions and ideas while also adding her creative flare to the project. She was there for support every step of the way. Her flexibility and expertise brought me great peace of mind.
The book cover and interior is stunning. I am constantly hearing from readers how much they love the look of the book, and I myself could not be happier!”
