my new thesis!

Hey!
So I was going to meet today for the thesis group, but its a snow day! Anyway I'm really early for my internship so I thought I'd share with you my new thesis idea. Well, its new since end of December. So my dream would to be to design for a cosmetics, skin care, or any kind of beauty line. I think they are so fun and love brands such as Stila, Benefit, and Too Faced Cosmetics. But I realized do I really like the make up or just the cute packaging?
So my idea was to create my OWN cosmetics line! I brainstormed a lot about what I wanted to do, and kept thinking of cute names or ideas but nothing really stuck out to me. Then I looked over at this Astrology book I had and had an idea.

I could create a customized make up line dedicated to YOUR zodiac sign! So basically, I read each zodiac sign and determined what colors would best describe your sign.I called it Zodiac Cosmetics. For example, I read upon the zodiac sign for Leo, and they say that Leo's are aligned with the sun. So I chose golds and toned down yellowy/nudes to be the eye shadow colors. Also, you could think about it as a color of the lion, leo's symbol illustration. I have designed some of the palettes and I have designed in illustrator a picture of the sign's symbol. When you open the palette it will also have a beauty quote about your sign on the mirror. I will also do a business card, letterhead, fliers and banners, ect. I'm really excited about this idea and even looked it up on google to see if its been used before! I don't think it has, which I'm super excited about because I'd definitely want to try out this idea in the future. I have a source to getting palettes and cosmetic containers to use for the final showing of this. What do you guys think? Let me know!

Thanks! Enjoy your snow day.
