The Kaleidoscope Effect

I've always found the kaleidoscope aesthetic quite stimulating, therefore I thought it would be intriguing to include the visual in my music video. Although it contradicts my original concept, I trust it would provide variation within my product, retaining the interest of my audience.

Chosen Poster Design

After conducting a vote amongst my peers as planned, I have selected the poster below as my final design. Their preference was mainly on account of it's minimalism compared to my other designs, meaning it's easy on the eye, plus it affiliates with contemporary tastes of wide society.

I haven't as yet selected a final design, however, I intend to decide through a vote amongst my peers. Their options are displayed in the slide share presentation below. I elected geometry and surrealism to be my point of focus as these qualities were central within the posters I looked upon before hand.

Resources I used:

Chosen Album Cover Design

I have selected this particular design as it contains all of my own resources. The general aesthetic is one of absurdity, aligning with the prominent impression I received when I completed research on album covers within this genre.

Album Name Selection

I chose my album name with some thought. Recalling my initial research of Local Natives, I found that April Welsh, writer for Clash Music, described their style as 'newfangled folk'. I subsequently researched the origin of the word 'newfangled', discovering that it is a Middle English term meaning 'liking what is new'. Taking this into consideration, I produced 'present fondness'.

Band Name Selection

After some deliberation i've appointed 'Calligraphy' as the name of my band, primarily because it is just nice to vocalise. I researched the word's origin and it manifests itself in the early 17th century: from the Greek term 'kalligraphia' which itself stems from 'kalligraphos', roughly translating to 'person who writes beautifully'. This is certainly befitting as a band name as it implies their lyrical writing abilities, therefore grasping the attention of a wide audience as poetic skill is preferable.
