The Golden Disk is an album cover design concept that aims to express the extravagant yet refined nature of alternative jazz.

On the intellectual/creative side, I was faced with the dilemma of how to effectively translate music into a visual representation. Modern Alternative Jazz, being so complex and rich, is not easy to analyze if you want to extract the core features that can be graphically leveraged.
process.
From analysis and ideation to execution and polish.
