This is an electronic music album with the theme of human and philosophy, mind and body. As the theme of this design, the visual combines classical aesthetics, philosophy and modern electronic music.

About Kam Kun Lam

I'm a graphic designer and a father. I have worked as a graphic designer for 18 years. When I first became a designer, I thought I could make Macau more beautiful, improve the aesthetics of Macau people, and enable designers to create better works as long as I did my job well. Now after 16 years, to me, a designer is just a common and ordinary profession, a craftsman, a skill to feed my family. As science and technology develop at high speed, designers may be replaced in the future, I'll never know. Whatever dilemma the future may be, my identity as a designer has become an inseparable part of me.

Design Details

Unique Properties: An electronic music album is composed, which contains the image of visual elements such as classical aesthetics, philosophy and modern electronic music. My customers and I have the same and only goal about this.
Inspiration: This is an electronic music album with the theme of human and philosophy, mind and body. As the theme of this design, the visual combines classical aesthetics, philosophy and modern electronic music. The various natural elements are combined into a chaotic image, the classical style is boldly used, and then the realistic images are matched to create the final scheme.
Research: Began to enter the status of operation after referring to the much information of natural elements and listening to the feelings of musician about my album, because too much collection of data and reference will have an impact on the uniqueness of the work, give up this method and create the work directly.
Challenge: The most difficult point in this process is to achieve ideological consistency with musicians, because the subjectivization and personalization of ideas make the theme abstract but concrete, and it must be tried many times. In retrospect, the whole process was painful. We had a heated debate because of different design concepts, and we felt that we did our best every time. We can't always complete all kinds of designs at will, just as I now want to explain this work in the form of words, this bold idea once made me hesitate in hell for some time, i didn't return to this world until I finished my work. From the beginning of his disapproval of me to the end, he was moved.
Realization and Technology: Due to cost limit, only general printing technology is used to complete this work.
Operation and Interaction: Due to cost limit, only general printing technology is used to complete this case and images become our focus. This will be the purest test for a graphic designer without any special printing technical support.
Project Duration and Location: The project started in October 2021 in Macao and finished in February 2022 in Macao.
