Thirteenth International Conference on The Image

Abstract

A music playlist, seems simple enough, doesn’t it? But within each, is a multitude of micro self-expressions. Is the list for a long road trip? What about a run? Maybe you need background music for a dinner party– whatever it is, your likes, your tastes, your inner desires, or joys–it’s a part of you that is expressed through lyrics and sound. Now imagine handing the playlist over to be dissected and visualized by another. This paper examines the collaboration of oneself through the visualization of music interpreted by a designer. The multimodality of the process focuses on the interpretation and importance of type, image, music, and the progression of two-dimensional design into a three-dimensional outlet in the forms of virtual reality and motion graphics. Revisualizing the “poster as king” into the 21st-century experimentations of progression.
