As great contribution has been made to carry on the cultural legacy, the Hakka folk songs use the melody and lyrics to record the beauty of its people’s culture and language. The Hakka folk songs have not only retained the trace of the past, but also gave the younger generation a chance to understand the pioneer progress of the ancestors. The folk songs have recorded the contemporary and allowed the descendants to appreciate their roots. This creative research targets on the love song types of the Hakka folk songs. Taking the cover design of the album as the subject, each folk love song is paired with its unique design format. The prospect of each song is closely examined to develop the design. The goal is not only to carry out the practical use of the cover wrapping but also transform the cover into the story-teller. The cover designs aim to convincingly deliver the background story to every reader. This creative research has devoted efforts into the study of the Hakka folk songs. With the investigation on the various types and the definitions of the folk songs, the research has based on the experience as the standard for the design. We have collected and studied theories and explanatory implications about love as references to back up the designing mindset. We then applied analysis toward the Hakka album design, studied its visual expression, and then confirmed on the design subject. In addition, we have also studied other relevant cases and concluded their expressional methods as the creative research’s component and structure. All topic songs are analyzed with theories of love songs along with the explanatory implications integrated to generate the complete visual creative expression. The entire artwork of the cover design is arranged for public exhibition.
