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

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.

Experiments

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I created these posters using indesign’s grid function. I was trying to represent an equaliser/ wave formation for my chosen song.

Initial Ideas and thoughts

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

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 love the bright colours and pipes.

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo…

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.
