IdN v25n6: Music Graphics Issue — Music Still Rocking the Design World



IdN v25n6: Music Graphics Issue — Music Still Rocking the Design World

The power of music lies in its ability to unite people from different backgrounds and with different educational levels, even those speaking different languages. Although the listener may not understand a word of the song they listen to, they can still be moved by it. Their emotions can be triggered, leading some to go so far as to learn the language it is performed in just so that they can better comprehend what it is trying to say.

For all its immediacy of impact and universality of appeal, however, music can be enhanced visually by the interpretation of a good designer. Can anyone deny, for instance, that their enjoyment of The Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s LonelyHearts Club Band was heightened by its iconic cover? The interpretation by Peter Blake and Jann Haworth of the ground-breaking content must have subtly influenced all who bought it.
