The founder of “Acorn Workshop” (橡實) was inspired by the “Acorn Theory” introduced by James Hillman, which expresses that unique something that we carry into the world, that is particular to us, which is connected to our "daimon," a gate to our own futures.
The founder believes that every child has his/her own freewill and leading them to find their own future is the parents responsibility. The workshop was founded based on this concept and futher extended to adults as well. The core is bring peace to people through zentangle and pastel nagomo art and help them explore their own paths.
THE DESIGN APPROACH
Inspired by the zentangle and the belif that everyone is a diamond in the rough, the doodle, random circles are created to reflect the concept, implying that drawing is an enjoyable and playful time to explore the mind. As for the logo in Mandarin charactors (橡實), the shape of 橡實 was transformed to imitate the shape of acorn with organic outline.
The letterpress was finished by rosegold foil stamping to express the image of “hope” and “value” of individuals.
橡實是一間位於嘉義市的禪繞畫與和諧粉彩的工作室。創辦人受到橡實理論的啟發，想經由繪畫來提倡「每個孩子都是獨一無二的個體，擁有自由意志。而父母的職責就是守護孩子的想法與行動」的概念。
設計概念
橡實的Logo分為兩個部份，第一部份不規則的圓形受到禪繞畫的啟發而有機線條代表「每個人都有未琢磨的才能」並都能自由揮撒人生。
第二部份的「橡實」的一部份結合橡實的型，例如「實」字下方的「貝」，且同樣使用有機線條來呈現「每一個人都是獨特的」概念。被橡實替換後的「貝」右邊有顆小橡實，代表的是「成長中的孩子」。
