Research.

Research is my starting point for this project. Below is everything I plan to research which I will then put together in a scrapbook style.


1) Logo's
    -Existing logo's and popular logo designers such as 'Paul Rand'
    -Existing music based logo's for past and present bands.
    -Example's of these logo's in existing music advertisements
     and merchandise.


2)Imagery.
    -Popular photographers such as Gered Mankowitz.
    -Uses of photography on existing artist/band design work.

Search Result

    -Poses photographers have used with musicians.


3)Posters and flyers.
    -Existing posters and flyers for musicians that use various techniques and materials.
     www.gigposters.com
    -Examples of where these posters and flyers are placed/handed-out.


4)Album and single art.
    -Existing music cover designers such as Alex Steinweiss and Anton Corbijn.
    -Examples of exsiting music covers from a range of music genres focusing on the indie and urban
     genres.


5)Magazine page.
   -Existing music magazine page layouts.
   -Existing magazine interview layouts.


6)Merchandise.
   -Research various artist/band merchandise such as key rings, clothing and stickers etc...


This research will help influence my designs and give me a basic idea of what is expected of music identities.
