Sound Bites
Brief You are required to design a submission that investigates a genre of music of your choice. This brief presents you with the opportunity to express the essence and spirit of your chosen genre. You may wish to edit and select appropriate ‘sound bites’ from these audio clips or use transcripts for your text matter. Consider the juxtaposition of your chosen genres – do they have anything in common? Do they address similar issues/themes? Are they opposites? Or simply celebrate the emotions that are aroused by your chosen words. Consider the way that different accents may suggest particular fonts – some bolder, some softer, sharp, distressed, condensed, thin, fat, serif/sans serif etc. You decide – the possibilities are endless. Use whatever methods and media you consider appropriate to convey your solution effectively – as long as you express a solid idea, inform us and show us your typographic skills. Make sure that you incorporate typographically detailed text matter that expresses an information hierarchy. Remember that words and language are our collateral and that your final outcome should be essentially typographic.
