Spreading the Energy, The Meaning & Sketches behind Uni's Opportunity Pin

Peace! I want to take time to share some of my sketches I drew that went into the Doorway of Opportunity Enamel Pin. The process has felt like forever because I overthink shit constantly.

The overall design and layout of the graphic was nailed early on but I sketched out various forms of the doorway throughout the process. After forcing myself to pick a direction to build upon, I opted to go with a classic, round door shape. All other elements kind of fell into place afterwards.

Another important factor for me was the pin size. I kept it small so it could be pinched on top of flat embroidery or clean on a crown eyelet.

After sketch mode, I move it to Illustrator and get it ready for production. This process also allows me to play with different color options plus layouts. There were many options, so many, that I plan to release other goods / mediums with the graphic! The Opportunity pin concept breaks down as follows:

Learn and Grow:

Embrace opportunity to learn new skills and push beyond your comfort zone. All opportunities have expiration dates, and failing to seize them can result in missing out on potential spiritual, personal & or career growth.

Finally, Pay It Forward:

Returning the opportunity energy is equally important! After all, opportunities come with a network of people and goodwill that is connected to them.
