| Abstract |
This book explores the fusion of music and graphics. How are melody, harmony and rhythm played out in graphics? How does music influence design? How is it captured in static form as design? Exemplary work from studios around the world is presented in three sections: "Notation" analyzes the use of sign and symbol systems in creating identity and branding for music artists, recording projects and performances; "Material" examines how products can package the essence of the music they contain; and "Atmosphere" looks at how space and multidimensional environments can be used to visualize sound. A reference section includes studio websites and a glossary. |
