The Experience
Clipper Omens: A Modern Tarot Project
One of the most fascinating and meaningful projects I’ve worked on recently is the Clipper Omens collection, a limited edition of the “4.20 Clipper Premium” series of KSS rolling papers and lighters inspired by the world of tarots. This project, developed during my time working with Clipper, offered a unique opportunity to combine my love for design with my passion for art and spirituality.
The Inspiration Behind the Project
Tarot holds a special place in my artistic journey, not only for its iconic aesthetic but also for its symbolic and archetypal significance. For this collection, I chose to broadly retain the original symbolism of the tarot while adding a 4.20 twist to align with the Clipper series theme. Each graphic element was designed to distill the complexity behind each tarot card, making it more accessible and understandable to those unfamiliar with its spiritual background.
Additionally, for the visual creation of the arcana, I decided to leverage the support of artificial intelligence. This technology allowed me to explore new graphic possibilities, integrating innovative ideas that enriched the overall aesthetic of the project.
The Creative Process
Working on Clipper Omens was a journey through symbolism and graphic experimentation. I began with in-depth research on the cards, driven by my personal interest in learning more about them. Following this, I developed illustrations using an intense color palette and experimented with finishes on the rolling papers to bring a vibrant and engaging aesthetic to life.
Special attention was given to the design and finishing of the rolling paper packaging. The use of metallic effects and embossing helped create a product that is not only visually striking but also pleasing to the touch, transforming each pack into a small collectible item.
Personal Thoughts
The Personal Significance of Clipper Omens
For me, this is not just a professional project but also a way to explore deeply meaningful themes. Tarot represents a bridge between the inner and outer worlds, a tool for reflecting on ourselves and our journey. Translating this concept into a graphic project was a stimulating and rewarding challenge.
Conclusion
Clipper Omens is much more than a collection of rolling papers and lighters, it’s a visual and symbolic journey inviting users to discover a piece of their own story. I’m proud to have contributed to creating something that is not only functional but also meaningful and beautiful.
