Having the option to choose from a large diverse range of music artists allowed me to diversify my own skills. Designing for Classical music gave me the opportunity to seek contextual and time appropriate research, which was different to anything I would usually design. As the piece was a homage to the original musician, it was important to aesthetically propagate the typography and design within 1940’s New York.
As the brief was stated to be 27cm x 27cm in dimensions, I started to think in three dimension about how to add depth and layers to the design. By lifting the musical notes onto a separate layer, they become emphasised and appear to float above the staff lines behind. Utilising musical notes is also a subtle way of incorporating one of the musicians songs within the design whilst staying time and genre appropriate to 1940’s Piano Jazz Music.
In terms of the finishing techniques, this is the first time which I have incorporated glass and framework into one of my designs and therefore have gained new knowledge about these processes.
The exhibition was also a great opportunity for my work to be seen within a public environment, and to be published within a book.
