Texts, and fonts, and the meaning of verses all being orchestrated into clearly notable decisions.

Font choices are language. The colors of them are language. Their meanings are language. The partially undefinable feelings they create are language. The images are language. The music is language. The final spark of emotional response to the entire experience of taking it all in once it’s held in your hands is language.

Doing Everything! Every graphic element is designed and thought out by me, with band input and approval of course. Ended up being a lot of work, counting all of the more simple images along with complex ones (booklet, cd label, vinyl labels and gatefold cover images) it adds up to be I think 32 graphic elements. Quite the interesting number there, 32 has interesting important metaphysical significance and crops up in my life often in various ways.
