Orange Juice

This is my interpretation of the song ‘Orange Juice’ from Melanie Martinez’s album ‘K-12′. 

This is how I would imagine the album cover to look like if the album was called ‘Orange Juice’ or if the song was released as a single.

I have chosen to use a font similar to the font she uses on her official album cover for ‘K-12′ so that it felt familiar to viewers and they would easily be able to associate this concept piece to her most recent album.

I wanted to make this piece look surreal as the song itself is quite surreal and not obvious as to what the song is about. Melanie herself is quite a quirky and doesn’t conform to ‘normal society expectations’ so I thought a piece like this would be fitting to her personality and what she stands for.

I guess I have been a non-conformist all my life. Even as a child I refused to conform to what society expected me to do. I spent a lot of time in the school principal's office because I refused to follow rules. Rules that I was supposed to follow because I was told to do so. For example, I refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in the classroom. I thought it was dumb and told my teacher, especially when she could not give me one good reason as to why I had to. "Because I told you so" never convinced to follow her "orders." I still don't for the same reason. What does saluting the flag have to with watching a sporting event? Starting the school day? As a society we do not question authority figures enough. We need to ask more "why" before we do things that do not make sense. I will never pledge allegiance to any group or ideology... instead I willingly pledge allegiance to Mother Earth and her inhabitants. We humans have been given a beautiful place to live and it is in our best interest to take care of her not just for ourselves but for future generations

School isn’t designed for kids to grow and perfect their interest, it is designed to grow and perfect society's interests.
