This project is inspired by one of Shang-Chi's songs, "Diamonds + And Pearls”. Besides practicing dynamic typography, I also try to capture the mood of the lyrics. Incorporating visual elements inspired by vacuum tube televisions into the design resonates strongly with the song's theme which is cyberpunk.

One of cyberpunk's core themes is the drastically widening gap between the rich and the poor. As technology advances, those at the bottom of society often have to rely on outdated and obsolete technology, while the wealthy enjoy access to all society's resources, creating a stark sense of antagonism. Furthermore, its core design style features flashing neon lights and glitch effects.

This juxtaposition adds a layer of irony, highlighting the unevenness of progress in a world that claims to beconstantly moving forward. This unevenness often inspires people to pursue freedom, meaning in life, and rebellion against the wealthy and powerful.
