About Now Album Cover Art
Ang Now usa ka disenyo sa album nga gimugna alang sa usa ka musikero kansang unom ka kanta nagsulti og mga istorya bahin sa mga damgo, pagtubo ug gugma. Usa ka hinungdanon nga karakter sa Intsik ang gikuha gikan sa matag titulo sa kanta, sama sa Universe, Rain, Believe, Eyes, Moon ug Star. Kining mga karaktera gihiusa gamit ang digital collage ug generative coding. Ang gipili nga mga elemento gisulod sa usa ka programa sa kompyuter nga naghimo og linibo ka lahi-lahi nga mga graphics, mao nga ang matag pagputos sa package talagsaon. Ang square nga format nagsukod og 4.25 pinaagi 4.25 ka pulgada. Ang proyekto naglakip og unom ka disenyo sa cover, usa ka libro sa mga lyrics ug ang package sa album.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- This album explores the musician's self-awareness, beliefs, truth, and choice. Six songs in the album respectively tell six stories of him about dreams, growth, and love. I explored integrating Chinese characters with modern design in the album design while taking the most meaningful Chinese character in each song title, like Universe, Rain, Believe, Eyes, Moon, Star. Then I experimentally discovered a new creative form merging Chinese characters, collage, and generative coding.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width: 4.25in X Height: 4.25in

- Design Challenge
- One of the most challenging parts is combining each Chinese character with the graphics and images to tell a better story.
- Research
- This album design is trying to explore a new possibility between Chinese characters, typography, graphics, collages, and Computing. I experimentally combine the traditional design practice with the new technology "generative coding" to create the whole album packaging, including six EP cover designs, lyrics book designs, and album package designs.
- Inspiration
- Growing up in China, I deeply love China's extensive and profound culture. By practicing calligraphy, I understand Chinese characters are not just a carrier of information but also a beautiful art per se. There are thousands of forms of Chinese characters, and each of them is infused with history. As a designer, I'm eager to discover more possibilities for the future of Chinese character design.
- Project Duration
- September 2021 - January 2022
- Operation Flow
- I inserted the elements separately into computer programming and generated thousands of different new graphics. The generative collages were used on the packaging design for the new album. So everyone receives a unique packaging wrap. Then I fused Yuli's music with these moving collages. I love experimenting with random collisions and producing mint and exciting things. Mixing traditional elements and modern technology delivers surprising outcomes and also brings balance between randomness and order.
