This Album design is based on the alternative/indie album Surefire by Wilderado, that I have found a lot of enjoyment listening to. In this song there is a consistent drum beat with a piano melody overlaying it. The lyrics in this song are based off of a poem that talks about a bear going out into the forest after hibernation and what this experience is like for it. This song also alludes to having a dream, but not being able to reach it. Knowing this back story, the intention of this album design is to create a contrast between a visual dream and reality. This album highlights the contrast between high and low saturation and smoothness and roughness. The background of the composition is a physical addition of textured paper. The smoothness of the illustration is to communicate the effortlessness of a dream. The circular illustration of the airplane is a dream that the subject is looking towards and aspiring to have, but the reality is he is in a neutral space and cannot access the dream. Instead he is admiring it from a distance.
