Philip Glass is an American musician. He uses repetitive layers throughout his music and is most well known for his contributions, including his work on The Truman Show. His approach to minimalism has reshaped the space for contemporary music.

The goal was to design a cohesive family of visuals, including a poster and a vinyl record, for the album Dodecagon, ensuring that the design represents the music's personality well.

Shaped by Glass’s repetitive compositions, the concept reflects life’s natural rhythms and its endless, circular flow. Dodeca, meaning 12, also becomes a central inspiration, symbolizing the passage of time. This transforms the design into a visual pattern that mimics the movement of Glass's music while integrating the number 12's meaning.

One of the defining elements, is the row of overlapping black circles in the poster's background. Arranged diagonally, they create a sense of depth and motion that mirrors Glass's layered patterns. Meanwhile, the vinyl record is enhanced with dark chrome details, adding a tactile feel and reinforcing the circle of life theme, creating a unified aesthetic across both pieces.

Through this project, I discovered that life is full of patterns, with the number 12 appearing time and again, whether it's the 12 apostles, the zodiac signs, or the time of day. It shows how certain symbols are endlessly woven into the fabric of our human existence.
