Now
Now is an album design created for a musician whose six songs tell stories about dreams, growth and love. One meaningful Chinese character is taken from each song title, such as Universe, Rain, Believe, Eyes, Moon and Star. These characters are combined with digital collage and generative coding. The selected elements are entered into a computer program that generates thousands of different graphics, so each package wrap is unique. The square format measures 4.25 by 4.25 inches. The project includes six cover designs, a lyrics book and the album package.
