the meaning behind 'elleclipse'

when designing my logo
i went through a lot of different ideas
trying to figure out a way of representing an eclipse
the moon obscuring the sun
whilst also representing myself
and making it unique and personal
after a lot of tug and war
i came up with this
a sunflower with a person in the middle
the sunflower
the sunflower came from trying to recreate an eclipse. at first i designed a lot of fire effects as rays, but then i thought that wasn't very original and i wasn't happy with any of the outcomes. Whilst trying to make it more personal I thought how much i love sunflowers and how they are a representation of the sun in their own unique way. so why not use that as a base, and have the head of the flower as a cut moon.
the form
what better way to represent being bold enough to block out the sun than by blocking out the sun with yourself. i drew a silhouette figure, that i guess is me, but could be anyone and placed them inside the sunflowers head. this turned out beautifully when all coloured in as one, and having the centre missing.
