The inspiration behind 'Container' lies in the interplay between the human mind, body, and philosophy. Kam Kun Lam, the visionary designer, has skillfully incorporated various natural elements into a chaotic image, creating a bold and innovative design. The realistic images paired with the classical style result in a final scheme that is both intriguing and thought-provoking.
What sets 'Container' apart from other designs is its unique composition. The album is a visual representation of classical aesthetics, philosophy, and modern electronic music. Despite the constraints of general printing technology due to cost limitations, the focus on images makes this design a pure test for a graphic designer's skills and creativity.
The project, which started in October 2021 in Macao and concluded in February 2022, posed several challenges. The most significant hurdle was achieving ideological consistency with the musicians. The abstract yet concrete nature of ideas, coupled with their subjectivity and personalization, required numerous trials and heated debates. However, the final work, which broke the visual image of electronic music, was well received and appreciated.
While creating 'Container', Kam Kun Lam referred to various natural elements and listened to the musician's feelings about the album. The designer chose to create the work directly, believing that excessive data collection and reference could impact the work's uniqueness. This approach, although challenging, resulted in a design that is both original and captivating.
'Container' is a testament to Kam Kun Lam's design prowess and innovative thinking. The design, which is protected by copyright laws, was awarded the Golden A' Design Award in 2022. This accolade is granted to outstanding creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
