With the submission I have provided a few concept boards which aim to help explain the synthesis between the theoretical and practical elements of this module.
Synthesised Practical
The practical element has been developed from the elements which were most common when researching the theoretical side of this module.
It is clear that the early stages of album cover design seemed to be the most enjoyable period of time for both designers and consumers of music, in the 60’s and 70’s much of your peer status would have been determined on the vastness of your record collection. People enjoyed having large physical pieces of artwork which accompanied their music, it was another element for a fan to relate to as well as another format to band promotion.
This sense of ownership and pride of physical items in relation to the music industry is slowly disappearing with the progression of downloading and file sharing.
Therefore this practical element is a collection of my suggestions on how we can keep the album cover physical, so we can keep on enjoying the art work that accompanies the music we
purchase.
There has become such a strong bond between visuals and music since the development of recorded music and it would be beneficial to both
consumers and designers if their was still formats of design that can be bought, held and cherished.
