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.
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
The º green dots represent a big electronic type symbol sound.
The smaller dots represent quieter/smaller symbol sounds – that are almost background
The “/” represent a sort of wavery background repeating beat.
The pink represents voice:
[ – expo
a – english voice
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
The ⊿ – triangle shape represents a swoshing sound that starts quite quiet and then gradually increases in pitch
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.

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.

I thought this just looked interesting!
This poster is a moodboard of ideas, shape and colours for the expo song.
I created these posters using indesign’s grid function. I was trying to represent an equaliser/ wave formation for my chosen song.
Whilst preparing the poster image for this blog , I was in photoshop and accidently created the below effects to these posters. I quite liked them so uploaded them.
I have worked with Alice Taylor for the first week of this project
I decided to choose mint royale: singing in the rain for my chosen song.
I wanted to represnt colour, fun, joy in my poster, as when I listened to the song these emotions I felt the song portrayed. I want to create a poster that will put a smile on their face.
When I went to paris, I saw this building which I used as a starting point.
I’m singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin’
I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun’s in my heart
And I’m ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I’ve a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin’,
Singin’ in the rain
Dancin’ in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I’m happy again!
I’m singin’ and dancin’ in the rain!
I’m dancin’ and singin’ in the rain…
[ADDITIONAL VERSE]
Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.
