Somewhere in Time

Concept

This is a project of writing time. I once regretted of used the clock concept on Don’t Waste Time, and I didn’t want to do similar thing. So I turned to think how can I use text to show time. When I was brainstorming, one of my daily habits pop up which is I have a dedicated playlist to each month. When I listed to the songs that I heavily listened to in a period of time, it brought back to those days, just like a time machine. And I try to convert this habit to be the concept that using the iconic pop songs and lyrics as the representative of the decade. So that when you are reading the lyrics, it is like bringing you back to that decade. But only writing the text is too simple, so I check the album design and use the style of the font to write the lyrics, so the visual and the lyrics matches.

Execution

I use black water colour pens and marker for all of the drawings. And referencing the font used on the album to match the lyrics. Some of the font used on the album cover art is not matching well, so I turned to match the words used on the lyrics to be the font.
