Nut Nymph

Kern County Nut Festival Poster submission - “Nut Nymph”

A character or mascot was needed to bring together the overall tone of the festival, but featuring the nut subject without being entirely literal and making nuts into figures. Philydia, the nut nymph was created to be the perfect fit for the poster as well as the festival itself, incorporating a welcoming persona who cares for nature and the produce it provides. The walnut and pistachio leave wreath symbolizes never ending cycle of life, while her crown of almond flowers depicts her femininity and nurturing nature with her blossoming walnut necklace.

Note: no type is allowed to be used for the contest.
