For this album I used a lot of life and death imagery, like the eyed headstones and the little green plant on everything. Much like life is the face of our existence and death the behind, the front cover represents multiple lives, and the back cover represents multiple deaths (owing to the reincarnation theme mentioned in my last post on the subject). The cover shows bright green leaves growing off the blackened wood of the plants that make up the words "Past Life," connecting to roots that probe the ground, all to hearken to older and more natural things, and the word "progressive" is done up in more metallic grays and blues, all with a dim shine to conjure thoughts of metallurgy, florescent lighting, and the future beyond.
The back shows a group of graves, each with an eye. The drawing lines are in white with the background in black to resemble a photo negative. The blue sphere made up of lines of bubbles represent many worlds, like in orbit around a star, or like a quantum particle, and the interlacing shape at the bottom suggests interlocking cycles of infinity. The logo and bar code are from capital records because my last school was across from their building so it was the first place my mind went. The pages between feature images from the back.
