Music in relation to design

The brief asks for the illustration to reflect the message conveyed within the interview. After listening to the Experimental Jetset interview, the part that I found the most interesting was how the designers felt about music in relation to their own design work. I created this font to reflect the idea of music being within design and an integral part of it.

Adidas

This was a recent project for Adidas Originals. It is a 20'x5' billboard design and was showcased on their display at the Project, Las Vegas Show 2010 this month. The stipulations were to use the traditional Adidas blue and for the design to include the phrase "Celebrate Originality". I love how so much is communicated within these images, this would be amazing for my spread as with all this information I would need very little text.

Inspiration...music

In the interview with
Experimental Jetset, there
is a discussion about the
importance of music and
its relation to design. This
is what I will be basing my
entire 4 page spread on.
The images shown to the
right are a sample of those
that I find bring music to
my mind. Not only the
fact that they feature some
musical aspects but the
colours and flowing forms
have deep connotations for
me in relation to the music
I listen to. I think that this
could be a really
interesting path to follow
and I’m really looking
forward to progressing
with it.

New brief

My new brief is to create a 4-page illustrated magazine article, re-presenting selected sections of an interview from Experimental Jetset.

Experimental Jetset is a small, independent graphic design studio based in Amsterdam, consisting of three people, Marieke Stolk, Danny van den Dungen and Erwin Brinkers.
