Hey guys, I’m
back. Today, I’m going to give you an insight into our artwork for the upcoming
record. To be honest, we didn’t do a lot of recording the past month. Therefore,
it wouldn’t make sense, to talk about recording stuff. But the idea about the
artwork developed itself over the past month and we’ve been working on this. But
first, I give you some information about the importance of artwork and why it
is so important.
The artwork
per se is a very important factor to complete the whole product. At the perspective
of a consumer, the artwork gives you a notion about the content of the product.
It functions as a teaser to consume the product. Now, the artwork mostly
reveals, about what the content of the product is going to be. By looking at
the artwork, you expect something about the product and what could be insight. That’s
why, you kind of want to consume the product. You are attracted to it and curious
about its content. Therefore, the artwork and its content must be consentaneous.
Though, there are bands and producers which like to mislead on purpose the
consumer by creating an artwork that is not coherent with its content.
You see,
the artwork about its content is so important because it is the first message
you give with your product to a consumer.
As you
know, our record has the story of a human being which searches for the truth.
It questions its religion and its social system. On the path to find a personal
convenient system, our person needs to break of its current social system in which
she or he is trapped. Trying to break out, this person uncovers the dark side
of the system, lays out the naked truth, and how perfidious and canting the
system covers its flaws and its real aims.
To reveal
the story in an exciting way on the artwork, we decided to work with symbols
and imagery. The system in the story is represented by a church. To bring out
the dark side about the system, the scene takes place at night. The diabolic content
is represented by two towers of the church. In the scene you can see a person
kneeling in front of the church. That person seems to be crushed. That symbols
stands for the fight against the system and shows, how hard it is to fight against
it. Further, we intend to draw a gaze of a person hidden in the dark night of
the scene. That final symbol stands for the fact, that whatever system our
person fights against, is made, controlled, and influenced by other human
beings. A little hint of mine, take a hard look on the cover. Then you’ll find
the hidden eyes.
There will
be other symbols in the scene which refer to our band. For example, our brand
will be implemented on the face of the church’s clock.
We are excited
to present you soon the artwork.
Hope you
enjoyed again reading this post. In December, I will give you the last insight for
this year. Hopefully, it will be about the latest progression of our work.
Stay tuned for
more information and take care.
Enjoy
Seasplash!
