Description
Explanation: This piece was designed as a proposed CD packaging design for the Swedish electronic group, The Knife. The Knife's sound is both gritty and clean at the same time, with dark orchestral sounds constantly throbbing in a continuous melody. I choose the dark, space like imagery to reflect their sound and also in response to the title of the CD, "Silent Shout." For me, this title evoked a sense of inner restraint. I choose to reflect this in the design of the packaging by having almost complete darkness in each image with one beam of light emitting from the absence of light, symbolizing a silent shout. While the imagery is important to the design, the packaging layout is also crucial to the packaging as a whole. I opted to create a unique CD booklet in the shape of triangle going back to the name of the band. I also hand bound the booklet to keep the clean aesthetic I was hoping to achieve.
