The project entails redesigning the album cover for Kacey Musgraves' "Golden Hour," focusing on integrating a butterfly motif to symbolize themes of transformation and rebirth explored in the album. Musgraves' music, blending country with pop and electronic elements while advocating for LGBTQ+ inclusion, serves as the inspiration for the redesign. The chosen object, a butterfly, embodies the delicate balance between life and death, echoing Musgraves' reflections on love and life. The cover features a stylized butterfly overlaying a subtly hidden disco ball, symbolizing Musgraves' incorporation of dancy disco beats into her music. Employing a vibrant "golden hour" color palette of pinks, purples, and blues, the design captures the ethereal essence of the album's sound and themes. By harmonizing imagery with musical content, the redesigned album cover aims to visually encapsulate the essence of Kacey Musgraves' transformative musical journey.
