Currently design for old blues music, from
Delta Blues to Chicago, is stuck in a stereotypical grainy image
of the musician with a side of country twang typography aesthetic. This dated design
treatment potentially excludes new generations of listeners from discovering
this rich, soulful music form that includes topics ranging from love to the
inevitability of death.
My question is whether or not a new music/lyric centric form of
design based on song narratives can be created for this genre through formal and typographic experimentations where direct representation is not always used all the way to complete abstraction of subjects?

How can abstract, formal, and typographic experimentation help make old blues music accessible and attractive to new listeners?

Hey Jumper friend,
ReplyDeleteYour question is incomprehensible. I can't make sense of it. Rewrite before next class please.

Hello Marty,
DeleteSorry about that! Trying to put into words what I'm envisioning is proving to be a difficult task. After rereading the question I feel like I was trying to put too much into a single question and thus complicating it to the point of it becoming unintelligible rambling.
