When Covid-19 hit in early 2020, and yoga studios closed overnight, Robin Duryea was one of the first in San Francisco to bring her classes online. And with that, she needed a new site that not only expressed her next chapter in teaching through visual language and a new brand experience, but also a streamlined customer experience that would allow her dedicated student community to connect with her.
I was inspired by her desire for clean graphics, and smart tag lines that seemed to flow like water. It reminded me of the work of feminist artist Barbara Kruger, famous for her billboards and graphics. Kruger's work was subsequently and most famously appropriated by the legendary skateboard company Supreme, and we decided to re-appropriate with a psychedelic twist unique to Robin's HQ in San Francisco and a hot pink hue. The conversation of appropriation in yoga is current, and by flipping this visual strategy twice and then thrice, we were able to create a strong visual language that was representative of her work.
