Music and Graphic Design
A lot of people think of graphic design just to be logo design, manipulating art / photo work and even web design, but actually it just matters on what direction you take your graphic design ability. Me for instance would love to explore of my graphic design ability in the Music Entertainment. As I grew up I played the trumpet throughout my elementary and high school years, the same time when I began to become interested in Graphic Design. I look back and everything that I have learned throughout the years in music, computers and animation I can see what I'm able to do to make music / music videos more appealing. As you watch how they make the videos you can see that sometimes some of the animation is done in-front of a blue or green screen so they can get the key points of the person and or persons body so they can manipulate it into their editing program. You can add Photoshop, Illustrator and even flash into music videos to catch viewers attention and make it appealing.

Bow to the Rythm. Music is art. Music to me is a way to move people through several emotions in one song. I write to tell a story and hopefully the person listening can visualize the world I wrote about. Alot like a novel or a poem. Music is design, so when designing for an artist you must understand their vision and emotion of their work. Picture this. I wrote a song called "Naked Land" after my best friend Rusty killed himself 15 years ago. You do not know the meaning behind the song and all you have heard are the lyrics. How would you design to these lyrics not knowing the reasoning behind them? "Here we are lost souls. We can not find home so we desperatly roam through the naked land." "There I go losing my mind a little more each day. I can not find peace in this naked land." So just reading these lyrics, how would you design for my album cover or create a video for me?
