CONCEPT + DESIGN STRATEGY
Drawing inspiration from the artist's distinct R&B style and the album's recurring theme of relationship struggles, we envisioned the moon and its unending cycles as a fitting metaphor. This celestial body, eternally dancing through its phases, became our emblem for the cyclic complexities portrayed in the music.

DESIGN EXECUTION
Our final design showcases a striking visual loop of the moon shifting through its phases. Designed to depict a seamless, infinite cycle, it eloquently encapsulates the cyclic nature of problematic relationships and the ensuing entrapment. This celestial portrayal not only lent a striking visual appeal but also resonated deeply with the album's themes, further enhancing the music's narrative power.
