Sound & Image

I love music! Many differnt kinds of music. And I love the aesthetics connected to music. There are subtile hints of what music we can expect when we look at the cover of a record or cd. But what visual elements are connected with a specific music genre? What artisitc techniques fit best to a certain music style? How can a designer translate sound into image?

To find answers to these questions I analysed 100 cd covers for each music genre. With the results I designed album artworks for 12 fictitious bands representing a different music style eache. I did everything on my own. From photoshooting to editing, from drawing to layout.
