I have created these images based on the hair of the original.

Using the original as a guide. I traced the image using the line tool

The line thickness, direction and space between the line was determined by the hair on the album cover

I duplicated the pattern created to produce this image

I have conveyed this in the images below

Alternative poster

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

For some reason I quite like this odd colour combination design. I think it needs some more work on it. It is a development of an earlier poster I did (see February 25th, 2010 entry). I created this poster in indesign, using the grid function to help.

colour experimentation

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I’m not these colour combo work aswell as the green/pink as they don’t quite reflect the song.

More Kraftwerk

Monday, March 1st, 2010

After listening to the track over and over again:I concluded that there where about 8 sounds that where repeated that I could hear. I created a timeline for this song and marked on the timeline when each sound appeared in the song. The results can be seen below. Hopefully you should be able to see a pattern created for the music

  1. The º green dots represent a big electronic type symbol sound.
  2. The smaller dots represent quieter/smaller symbol sounds – that are almost background
  3. The “/” represent a sort of wavery background repeating beat.
  4. The pink represents voice:

  5. [ – expo
  6. a – english voice
  7. Eszett (B shape) – german voice. Eszett are german characters which represent “ss” e.g schloss can also be written with an Eszett on the end instead of a double ss
  8. The ⊿ – triangle shape represents a swoshing sound that starts quite quiet and then gradually increases in pitch
  9. The W – represents a sound at 1:04 – 1:22 to me the sound looked like a repeating WWWWW shape. To me this sound makes the music and is important. Hence the box surrounding it to help make it stand out

Please note: I’m not a musical buff!

I found this poster was a bit tooo busy and needed some breathing space, hence the above image.

Kraftwerk

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I have decided to change song. to Kraftwerk’s expo 2000

each dot represents a second of the song. the song is 408 seconds long, there are 408 dots. The magenta dots represent a symbol type sound in the song.
