COLORS:
Warm neutrals, soft pastels, and earth tones with black or dark brown for contrast. Colors should feel vintage, muted, and sun-faded. Cream background like you do so well.
Warm ochres + sandy beige
Soft mossy greens + deep pine
Dusty rose + muted mauve
salmon / light rust accents
Faded sky blue
ARTWORK AND DESIGN DIRECTION:
A visual direction that blends hand-drawn folk art, quilt patterns, and Western nostalgia with a soft, earthy color palette and touches of black. Rooted in nature, sisterhood, and the magic of gathering. Loving the concert poster type designs! This feels like something we definitely want to continue for 2027. We will need an Asymmetrical as well as landscape design.
ILLUSTRATION & PATTERN:
Nature, celestial symbols, wildflowers, animals, rivers, fire, mountains, trees, and handwork.
Elements should feel hand-drawn, textured, imperfect, and full of story.
Quilt-inspired borders and repeating folk-art motifs could frame the main artwork and also become individual design elements that we can use throughout the year for social media, website assets and program.
INSPIRATION:
Just some artwork of yours that we loved! The quilting squares reminds us of our Grandma’s and sewing and aspects of our Ancestors. Love all of your little drawings and can imagine some as assets for thing son the land we mentioned.
FONTS:
We’re open to exploring typography that feels vintage, handmade, folk-inspired, and slightly imperfect. Perhaps something different from your usual font so that our design can be a bit unique on its own?
The main SPIRIT WEAVERS lettering could potentially be custom or hand-drawn so that it becomes part of the artwork itself, paired with a simpler complementary font for dates, locations, and supporting information.
Aged paper, ink texture, hand-printed imperfections, natural fibers, faded pigments, and subtle grain to create a timeless, nostalgic feeling.
Rooted in land, sisterhood, creativity, tradition, and gathering.
Soft, nostalgic, wild, feminine, earthy, playful, and filled with heart.
Most importantly: these are inspiration and starting points rather than strict creative parameters. We want the final artwork to feel like Spirit Weavers while still leaving plenty of room for your own style, ideas, and interpretation.
IMAGES:
Below are some ideas and inspiration for the main image. We have thousands of images to choose from! Here is a link to last years images with password weavingwisdom if any of them call to you. https://spiritweavers.pixieset.com/login/
CEDAR BLOOM INSPIRATION:
Just including some images of the land below in case you want to add in some Cedar Bloom sweetness.
TO CLOSE:
~If using women in the artwork, please be sure to include a diverse array of body types and colors! Happy to have women included or not. Leaning more towards landscape with small shadow type women?
~ Looking for more of a poster design similar to last years artwork.
~ Must leave space for words: Spirit Weavers Gathering, 2026 Sun Session June 11th-15th Moon Session June 18th-22nd 2026, Cave Junction Oregon. Or Cedar Bloom CJ Oregon
~ Main SW Logo can be incorporated or not! Its here if you need it: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/am6tv0z4tbull0loffyc2/bigswlogo.png?rlkey=rme89lw8n0l38befu9q8hka3y&st=r5zehiu5&dl=0 SW Font is Jellyka Western Princess and Gathering is Candara regular
~ We would also need a template for the Instructors to add their photo into.
We would like to use artwork for the website as the main image when you enter in as we have with previous artwork. If we can have some assets from the artwork that would be helpful when updating the website in the Fall. Example, if you use flowers in the image perhaps we can have images of those on their own so we can add them in as accents or buttons to click.
You can see previous designs over the last decade here: https://spiritweaversgathering.com/photo-gallery/
