What's Working Well:

- Circular Motif:

Represents moon phases and time cycles, aligning with the theme of "12" and Philip Glass's repetitive, evolving music.

- Halftone Texture:

Adds visual depth and complexity, echoing Glass’s layered compositions.

- Typography:

Dynamic interaction with circles suggests movement, reinforcing the rhythmic nature of the music.

- Embossing:

Adds a tactile layer, enhancing the lunar/cosmic theme.

- Circular Booklet:

Engages users with a format that complements the moon/cycle concept.

How To Enhance:

- Contrast & Color:

Experiment with lunar tones (silvers, grays, subtle blues) for depth and contrast.

- Typography Hierarchy:

Vary text size and placement to create clearer emphasis and flow.

- Interactive Features:

Extend embossing to booklet; create tactile differences for moon phases.

- Motion in Design:

Slightly adjust circle sizes/positions to suggest progression and flow. Use opacity/layering for depth.

This abstract composition draws the viewer's attention immediately to the leading line that goes through the middle, even though it is covered by circles. It acts as a guide and directs the eyes from left to the right circle, giving us a sense of movement and continuity. The interaction between the thin line in the middle and the circles adds complexity and interests the viewers.

The use of only 3 different geometric shapes which are circles, rectangles and squares, creates a very structured yet chaotic arrangement. There is a big contrast between the soft and organic curves of the circles versus the rigid edges of the rectangles and squares. This creates tension. The mixture of shapes gives an idea of organic growth, symbolizing cellular structures or even DNA.

The overall composition is asymmetrical but the placement of the shapes and use of negative space creates harmony. The open areas allow the design to breathe. It really makes viewers think about evolution, growth and movement.

Concept Map About Original Poster- Using Design Vocabulary

# data[].attributes.body
1. User Experience:

Overall Feeling: I want to really consider how the sleeve feels in the buyers hands. Using textures, embossing or matte finishes to create a memorable and engaging experience

Interactive: I want to incorporate interactive design features like hidden artwork or flaps that pop out, to really show the deeper meaning behind the album.

2. Functionality:

Protection of the Record: The sleeve should protect the vinyl from any sort of damage. Materials that are thick and durable should be considered.

Shelf Presence: I want this album cover to be a piece of art that buyers can show off in there rooms and are attracted to on the shelf.

3. Visual Impact:

Aesthetic Appeal: The cover should be related to the poster but can differ, almost like a family. Id like the aesthetic to be very minimal like the poster, using mostly simple shapes with an easy to understand meaning.

Color Palette: Using simple colors/shades like black, white and another complimentary color so buyers don't get overwhelmed by colors

Negative Space: I want to be able to direct the viewers focus to the key points.

4. Additional Artwork:

Extras: Record sleeve could include lyric booklets, inserts or fold out posters. These could tie in with the design of the record sleeve and reinforce the albums identity.

1. Box: Suggests how time is something we try to "capture" or "hold" through memories or events, but it’s ultimately fading away.

2. Circle: A circle inherently represents cycles and repetition, making it ideal for illustrating the passage of time

3. Dodecagon: 12 sided polygon

I wanted to show the passage of time through the use of different cycles in the moon. I want it to look like there's another layer in the embossed moon.

This design was inspired by the fact that time isn't just linear, it's experienced through memories, future plans, and present moments, all interacting with each other. Layers can visually symbolize these complex interactions.

Using the Fibonacci sequence in layering I wanted to represent the expanding idea of time and knowledge. Just as each new Fibonacci number is larger than the last, each layer represents an evolved stage in the passage of time.

A calendar illustrates cycles by marking the repetitive progression of days, weeks, and months, visually capturing the patterns of time that control our lives.

Through the use of the ying and yang, I wanted to show balance very simply, the black part separates from white and opens the record case

I really want to use foil stamping because I think it could really enhance my design, but subtly. Putting the gold/copper foil around some of the halftones would really work and bring emphasis on the pattern!
