Seminar; Essay Research

In this seminar we worked in groups of 3 to create a mind map focusing on one or more of the essay questions so we could start thinking of ideas and possible points to mention in each of the essays.

Lecture; The Visualisation of Sound


This lecture looked at the visualisation of sound brief which is to experiment with different pieces of music each week to produce a graphic response to 8 of the songs we have been given. We should use a range of techniques which will be a good way to help improve my skills on different programmes that i'm not so good at, such as after effects.

We were shown examples of some designers work looking at sound visualisation, such as album covers. I particularly liked this album cover which was inspired by David Carson. 



“The term ‘graphic score’ refers to any kind of musical notation that uses pictures, symbols or illustrations, instead of or in addition to traditional notation, to inspire performances – musical scores can be just as satisfying to look at as they are to listen to.”
Jacob Thomas-Bell
