Nine

I had the idea to design stickers based off the songs by Sleeping at Last, written about each of the 9 Enneagram types! You can find his songs and podcasts here: https://fanlink.to/sleepingatlastpodcast http://www.sleepingatlast.com/home-1

Each of Sleeping At Last’s songs are written intentionally, with details hidden beneath each lyric and meaning behind the musicality.  I wanted to create my stickers with the same intentionality and care towards each design choice.   

Here’s my Enneagram type 9 sticker and the reasons behind it:

• circle because nine's care so much about the people around them and listen intently and care so much.

• they care about everyone else’s happiness over their own and when everything is balanced and calm, they are most content. 

• yellow because it is such a soft color, symbolizing the sun and how it wakes us up in the morning as was the driving lyric in the song (“wake up”)

• the half colored circle points to the song lyric that says “i’ve been less than half myself for most of my life”

• the low contrast in colors represents how nines love to avoid conflict and keep things timid and peaceful 

• the soft details within each word represent how nines are very observant and detailed people; they see the deep meaning behind things and find the beauty in it 

• the leaves branching off the ampersand are olive branches which are known to be a symbol of peace
