of strengthening connections and showing affection to loved ones. Some Hoodoo practitioners use honey in magic rituals to enhance relationships and foster positive feelings. Overall, June's full moon is seen as a time to work on relationships, appreciate love, and encourage intimacy. Engaging in spiritual rituals during the Full Strawberry Moon can be a meaningful way to connect with nature, set intentions, and honor the energy of the moon. Rituals are personal and can be adapted to suit your beliefs and preferences. Feel free to modify this ritual or incorporate additional elements that resonate with you. The most important aspect is to approach the ritual with intention, reverence, and an open heart.

COLORING PAGE

Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable outdoor space where you can see the moon clearly. You may also create an altar or sacred space using items that symbolize the moon, strawberries, and your personal intentions.

Cleansing and Grounding

Take a few moments to ground yourself and release any negative energy. You can do this through deep breathing exercises or meditation. Consider smudging with sage or cleansing with your preferred method, such as ringing a bell or using crystals.

Moon Gazing

Spend time gazing at the moon in all its glory. Reflect on its beauty, brightness, and the energy it radiates. Feel a sense of gratitude for the moon's presence and its connection to the natu ral world.

Strawberry Symbolism

Acknowledge the symbolism of strawberries, representing sweetness, abundance, and growth. Reflect on the areas of your life where you desire growth, fulfillment, or positive changes. Visualize these intentions clearly in your mind.

Ritual Offering

Prepare a plate of fresh strawberries as an offer ing to the moon. Place the plate on your altar or in a sacred space. Express your intentions and gratitude aloud or silently, and invite the energy of the moon to bless your offerings and amplify your intentions.

Moon Bathing

If possible, bask in the moonlight and let its gentle glow wash over you. You may choose to sit, stand, or even dance under the moon's light. Allow yourself to be fully present in the moment, soaking in the moon's energy and connecting with your intentions.

Closing and Integration

Once you feel complete, express gratitude for the experience and the energy of the Full Straw berry Moon. You can choose to leave the straw berries as an offering, or you may enjoy them as a symbolic act of receiving the blessings and abundance you've invoked.

The project draws inspiration from a combination of a digital escape room and a love story called "LOVE" by group Z. at the peak begining of COVID-19 pandemic, it has been challenging for friend groups to gather and spend quality time together while maintaining social distancing. This difficulty sparked the idea for creating an ad campaign using Clipper and Spotify playlists as a means to reconnect friends through music.

The concept behind the campaign is that friends from different locations can play the specially curated Spotify playlists whenever and wherever they are. This initiative aims to bring people together during a time of loneliness and isolation, providing a virtual gathering space in the absence of physical get-togethers where friends would typically gather to enjoy music and smoke.

The aesthetic for each advertisement within the campaign draws inspiration from the artists and songs highlighted in the playlists. For instance, one of the songs featured is "Follow Your Arrow" by Kacey Musgraves, and the associated ad would reflect the vibe and aesthetic of Kacey Musgraves' music. Similarly, another song featured is "Day N Nite" by Kid Cudi, and the corresponding ad would capture the essence and style of Kid Cudi's music.

Overall, the goal of the Clipper and Spotify playlist ad campaign is to bridge the gap caused by social distancing measures and provide friends with a virtual space to enjoy music together, fostering a sense of connection and togetherness during a time when physical gatherings are challenging.

After creating my first collage (Clipper x spotify) I enjoyed the cut out images and cut out PNG style and kind of stuck with it. Collaging is a creative and artistic technique that involves combining various materials, such as photographs, images, papers, and found objects, to create a unified and visually appealing composition. It is a versatile medium that allows individual artists to express their imagination and ideas in a unique and personal way.

Collages can be made using traditional methods, where physical materials are cut, layered, and glued together, or through digital means using image editing software. Both approaches offer me different possibilities and outcomes sometimes even combinding them together. (See next page at scanography.)

One of the fascinating aspects of collaging is the freedom it provides for juxtaposing different elements and exploring diverse themes. I have the freedom to mix and match images from various sources, combining unrelated objects, textures, colors, and patterns to create a harmonious whole or an intentionally chaotic arrangement.

As the fool you are a spiritual traveler taking the first step of a new journey always moving forward no matter the circumstances. The fool is open to new ideas and anything is possible because a food is still ignorant regarding the unknown to his own world.

The tower shows that sudden internal patterns and habits lead to change. Support system changes guiding you to new beginnings with yourself.

The moon card gives the feeling of confusion and anxiety that may worry you. The moon cleanses your mind and allows you to focus on healing oneself. The moon helps you discover new mysteries within dreams and thoughts. This photo represents curiosity with the movement in the hand that picks up a strand of pearls.

I think of myself as the empress that represents stability and femininity. This card signifies a happy woman who expresses herself creatively. There are many details in this photo because the empress reminds us to pay attention to details in art and I thought this was fitting. She also symbolizes a full circle of creative flow. This scene is how I see myself in my own life. At first glance it is chaotic but after understanding it turns into pockets of information.

The king of wands looks forward beyond the kingdom to seek creative power from the people. The mind keeps looking for your next project or step to take for success. Take a deep breath and think things through before making rash decisions. This card reminds me to stay positive and true to myself and don't act out of spite because I have a team to lead in front of me.
