Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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
- Tags
- Album Design, Graphic Design, Typography, Generative Coding, Print Design
- Production Technology
- Print Design / Digital Collage / package design / 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.
