Parts and interrelations
Illustrations and the rest of the work lays on a dark background. The illustration has aggressive turquoise color while lettering and typography were done in contrast to white and light shades of grey. Geometrical shapes and lines are not perfect and not balanced in some points. The artistic representation on the mask is as wide as the qualities and values of every single person. The contrast of colors and background with duplication of lines that brings tension is positioned at one side of the work, while on the other side is typography with the name of the bend. The illustration represents the name of the album while the name of the band takes place as a second important part. Other parts included are optional and not officially taken in the original artwork but presented as an idea. One reflection of typography from the front page is on the same spot on the backside, together with a list of songs and the length of every song. The concept includes thin font with heaviness on the backside.
