Romance of the three Kingdoms
A. vision board.
B. spotify playlist
For this assignment we were given a randomized wikipedia link for an album and artist name. The name of my artist is Romance of The Three Kingdoms, which in origin is chinese folktale. The quote I was given to derive my album from was “So long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity.” From this quote I shortened my album name to ‘So Long as We Live’ to match the dark romantic sound of the artist band name. After this point I began exploring sounds and visuals which I felt matched the identity of this album.
Creating the face for the album began with a scanner bed and collected materials. The materials I collected were chosen and placed into different crops and compositions in a way I hoped could communicate themes of romance, sexuality, vulnerability, and feminity. I also formed this title for the band name, tracklist, and album name from words and letters I cut out.
I imagined this to be an indie punk band of three girls who write songs about feminism and development as a woman. This is definitely an early 2000’s band just getting their start selling their CDs outside of a Paramore concert.
