The inner spread was designed to provide the contextual information that cannot be communicated through the audio alone. I used photographs from the live performance so that the visual identity remained directly connected to the event itself. The layout includes liner notes, performer credits and production information, making the collaborative nature of the EP visible.
The design uses a dark visual palette with warm cream and gold typography to reflect the intimate atmosphere of the jazz performance. Rather than treating the musicians as anonymous session players, I wanted the packaging to clearly acknowledge their contribution to the recording. The inner spread therefore functions as both documentation and part of the listening experience.
The back cover was designed to combine practical release information with the atmosphere of the live recording. It includes the four-track listing, production information, recording location and access to the wider digital project through the website and QR code.
I used a darker performance image to maintain visual consistency with the front cover and inner spread. The hierarchy of the typography was designed so that the track information could be read clearly while the photographic background still communicated the intimate live setting.
The QR code and website address connect the physical edition to the digital version of the project, allowing the CD to function as an entry point into a broader online archive.
The CD face was developed as a continuation of the main visual identity of Live in the Moment. I used a live-performance photograph as the central image so that the physical object remained visually connected to the musicians and the performance environment.
The title, subtitle and release information were kept relatively minimal to avoid overcrowding the disc surface. The circular format of the CD required the composition to be adjusted carefully so that the performers remained visible while the central disc area and surrounding text stayed readable.
The final design aims to make the CD feel like an integrated part of the release rather than a separate technical object.
