The Design

About Now Albumo viršelio dizainas

Now – tai albumo dizainas, sukurtas muzikantui, kurio šešios dainos pasakoja istorijas apie svajones, augimą ir meilę. Iš kiekvienos dainos pavadinimo paimtas po vieną reikšmingą kinišką rašmenį, pavyzdžiui, Visata, Lietus, Tikėjimas, Akys, Mėnulis ir Žvaigždė. Šie rašmenys sujungiami naudojant skaitmeninį koliažą ir generatyvinį programavimą. Pasirinkti elementai įvedami į kompiuterinę programą, kuri sukuria tūkstančius skirtingų grafikų, todėl kiekviena pakuotės apvija yra unikali. Kvadratinio formato matmenys – 4,25 x 4,25 colio. Projektą sudaro šeši viršelių dizainai, dainų tekstų knygelė ir albumo pakuotė.

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.

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.
