BREIF : To design a 7" vinyl sleeve in response to one of the 7 selected tracks.
I'm really excited by the opportunity to produce a visual interpretation to music, especially for a brief that draws responses from some of my favourite illustrators - like Thierry Noir and Louise Lockhart.
This brief being very open it allows for a personal approach that I think will help me to further explore the aesthetic and individual intent of my practice. I would like to capitalise on my strengths of creating graphic imagery focusing on composition, using shape and textures, but also experiment with naive line work and perhaps venture into photography, typography or 3-d work to widen my skill set.
I had a look at the archive on the secret 7 website and selected some of my favourite artist responses to the tracks of 2016. I think a variation of designs caught my eye, perhaps showing that how I approach this brief in terms of aesthetic will very much vary on the concepts I evolve from the selected tracks. I would, however, like to develop these concepts through techniques such as sound mapping or mark making, producing a very natural and automatic response to the music.
The details of this brief I think will not be announced until the new year, giving me the opportunity to focus on others in the mean time.
