Astro Charms

Abstract

For my senior project I created a mini oracle deck called Astro Charms, to create a design that can help guide self-reflection and self expression. The oracle deck is Astrology themed, using jewelry and charms to express the zodiac signs. Throughout this process the concept continued to evolve and so did the design. A focus was to use Astrology as a guide for the imagery but interpret it in a unique way, which was a catalyst for the different design directions. Creating and curating symbols for the zodiac signs was a big part throughout the process. As I continued to work on my project, making the cards accessible to people who might be unfamiliar to Astrology or oracle readings became an important element. My senior project let me use what I learned in my design and art classes, to create a fully realized oracle deck.
