Design for Music
Design for Music
As a lifelong music lover with omnivorous tastes, I’ve always found ways to fold music into my creative practice. That’s meant designing physical packaging, collaborating visually with live performances, and, more recently, creating artwork to accompany playlists. Music has remained a constant source of inspiration. The playlist offers both a creative exercise and a set of constraints I return to often. After carefully sequencing tracks into a cohesive set, I challenge myself with a quick visual sprint—producing cover artwork that extends the listening experience into visual form. This is an ever-changing selection of those designs.
