SERAPHIM (concept) by Nativity

"Continuing the journey from Inception to Ascension one finally arrives in the upper realms of the lucid dream state..."

"...But what do you hear when you're here? You're welcomed by the 'Seraphim' to a dance party filled with bboys/bgirls and bass music."

"You rejoice with the 'Electrograde' and move 'On The Groove' to the familiar break beat."

"But alas you realize you've arrived early to the party and must return back to the planet you come from."

#BTS :: Form inspiration from a travel photo.

"As you awake in confusion to the experience you hear the distant sounds of beasts all around.

The wind calls your invitation as the animals welcome you to the 'Jungle Funk'. "

"You finally realize that it's here where you belong.

Grounded on the planet to do great works and to share what you've learned, It's up to you to make them bounce..."

4000's SYMBOLISM:

Parallel and Perpendicular lines represent the staircase elevator into higher dimensions and realms in relation to the heavens where the SERAPHIM are. The beaming red and yellow lights imploding from the center of electrograde ignite burning passion and jungle funk momentum one engages into anew path to reveal soul purpose. The luscious blues bounce around the grounded greens reflecting the water on earth that surrounds us at every moment on the lands we adventure.

VERSIONS ::

+ Similar to the versions of a song on a record, I have alternate versions of artwork. In the future, these assets will become animations and content for live shows & performances.

+ Saving along the way helps me see my progress, and is fun sharing my process after production.

Q: ADOBE, when will you release the update on project saving in Photoshop CC?

CHALLENGES: Q4 Release
The main challenge for this project was completing the artwork in a few weeks time constraint while simultaneously preparing for tour travel during the holidays overseas. This album was released the day the artist Nativity (my brother) and my family got on a plane to fly to our Motherland (the Philippines) for the Holidays.

SOLUTIONS

Fortunately, having already developed a solid relationship and connection through the previous 2 releases (in addition to this client being my blood brother), the mutual understanding of vision brought an effortless flow to this creative graphic design project.
