Behind The Design: "After Shower Clarity"

Have you ever thought about things while you showered? 

Well, that's exactly what the "After Shower Clarity" piece is about. A tribute to these shower thoughts we have at times. What's funny is that the rough image of the design dawned on me while I was taking a shower one evening. 

It somewhat became a habit for me to do some thinking while I take long showers thinking about things related to the brand. It's been a place where I would come up with most ideas for the designs I create for this brand and it continues to be.

When you look at the big picture, it's actually pretty funny to hear or even imagine that someone gets all these creative thoughts by just doing some thinking while showering. Believe me, it was weird and strange for me at first. But then it made me think why this particular design was so significant other than the fact that it was "born" while showering.

Not only is it a tribute to those shower-thoughts we have but it is also a portrayal of that refreshing feel we have after a nice, long shower. Both mentally and physically. Perhaps we get this clarity from the little thinking that we do in the shower along with the sense of rejuvenation we feel from all that hot/cold water running down our bodies. So maybe this "clarity" and rejuvenation that we get increases our overall performance, boosts our mood, allow us to better sleep, and even spark some creativity in all of us. Which is exactly what happened with me. 

So that's the back story of how the design came to be. Just a regular dude taking a shower, doing some thinking and one day, the image of the design popping up in the head like a light bulb went off. So what is the message behind the design?

Well, there is no definite messaging with this piece. But one thing you can possibly take from this design is that you should try to find an environment where you can clear your head while feeling some sort of relief. I truly believe that when our brains and our bodies are relaxed, that's when we have the ability to function better (which is a no brainer) and get creative. Whether it's taking a long shower, doing yoga, going for a walk, meditating, just go do it and cherish every moment of it. Because you never know how powerful your mind can be when you are in a relaxed state both physically and mentally. 

If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read. Hope it was at least an interesting read in knowing how the design came to be! 

This brand is all about story telling through these designs so you can expect more of these thought-provoking graphics in the future. Especially since the goal is to spark conversations around mental health and the appreciation for the little things in life in a subtle way. 

Anyway, I will end it right here before I go off on a tangent. 

Take Care, See You Later.
