Designers were tasked with creating a unique brand identity system for either a fictitious traveling circus, carnival, or performer. After deciding to focus on a performer, I was drawn to the mystic acts from researching circus acts of the Victorian era — and so, we found Lady Rowena, the Oracle to the Ancients.
My chosen performer, hails from Ireland; a runaway from her Gypsy roots. At this stage in her life, she found herself partnered with “Enslee’s Extraordinary Few” traveling circus to fulfill her dream of seeing the world and helping people with her gifts in divination. Very stoic in stature, Lady Rowena enjoys reading of other lands between seances and teasing her fellow circus folk with her abilities in clairvoyance. Her palm and tarot readings are so accurate, some swear she’s a time traveler from another world.
Seance goers of all ages are intrigued by and welcomed to experience her connection to the other realms, some so much so that they return to her reading table regularly. The typical visitors are those that don’t mind following their own curiosity into the unknown.
