A project crafted to translate the album Dodecagon into visual form, starting with the creation of a poster for the event and extending to the design of a vinyl.

about
Dodecagon is an album that takes the listener on a journey through layered soundscapes, blending Philip Glass’s minimalist repetition with Arturo Stalteri’s expressive piano. The title refers to a twelve-sided geometric shape, mirroring the album’s evolving structure.

creative thinking
To fully immerse myself in the project, I listened to the album so often that its sounds lingered in my mind, even when it wasn’t playing. Each layer unfolds like a step in the journey, revealing hidden contrasts between darkness and brightness, reinforcing the album’s depth and movement.

poster design decisions
The lights in the tunnel served as the inspiration for the design treatment, which I edited to reflect the layered light and color that mirrors the emotions in the music. Warm tones like orange and light blue symbolize joy, while darker reds and blues evoke moments of hardship. These colors are contained within the bold sans-serif letters spelling out Dodecagon, reinforcing how the album embodies the emotional journey of the music.

vinyl design decisions
The Dodecagon vinyl brings the emotions of a journey to life. Its layered sleeve and clear cover show how travel and feelings are always changing. A circular cutout gives you a peek at what’s next.
