Abstract

For my graduating UNO Honors Program capstone project, I have chosen to undertake a creative project that involves recording and releasing an album with my band, Cavedivers, while also designing the visual media and advertising graphics to accompany the release. The songs we have recorded were all written and developed before the start of this project. Therefore, this project is less of a songwriting endeavor, since most of that process is already complete, and more of an experimentation and workshop in communicating music through recording and identifying effective trends within graphic design.

As an art major and musician, this has been an excellent opportunity to complete a multimedia project according to a deadline, along with networking within the Omaha art and music scene. This project has provided me with valuable insights into the process of recording music and utilizing various media to create designs. As a Studio Art major concentrating in Media Arts and Graphic Design, the importance of experimentation, alongside feedback and workshopping those ideas, has always been emphasized. Gathering feedback on my designs has been a focal point of this project. Going into this project, I aimed to record an album of five to ten songs, which would later be released digitally, and design at least three items of merchandise: a poster, a video piece, and an album cover.
