Based off of Voyager 1 & 2’s “Golden Record”, this project intends to educate other life forms of Earth and its inhabitants. While communication through the encoded content is important, the sleeve is intended to provide a message on the meaning of life and a warning if it is not followed. Deliverables include a vinyl record sleeve, label and poster insert. I chose to name my project “The Dynamic Imperative” suggesting that life’s purpose is intrinsically tied to its dynamic, ever-changing nature, and that change is not just important but absolutely necessary for personal growth, progress, and fulfillment. The warning, “Failure to change is failure to survive” underscores the importance of adaptability and the strive to evolve in the face of challenges and changing circumstances. It emphasizes that in a dynamic world, being resistant to change or refusing to adapt will end the chance of survival and success. The purpose of my design is to chow the benefit of change in all aspects of life through a double exposed image tactic utilizing Adobe Photoshop and various blending modes, adjustment layers and masks.
