It’s been a while since I’ve published any creative music videos, so I’ve embedded a new one which definitely stands out in the crowd. The track, Let The Dummer Kick, by Citizen Cope, contains exceptional animation by Artur Dimke. Artur makes great use of typography, emphasizing each individual word with an accompanying effect.
Question: how do you advertise an event that features some of the world’s finest musicians?
Answer: with a stunning piece of visual artistry.
This video sequence (embedded above) is stunning, and I love how it subtly highlights the names of each musician in time to the classical piano music. The musicians mentioned will be making an appearance […]
Winding down for the weekend? Not just yet.
I’ve been incredibly busy these past few days and design deadlines are mounting. My posting frequency might leave a little to be desired for a while, but hopefully not.
Here’s a shout out to all of you who offered up some constructive criticism through my last article.

Ever since receiving my first LP as a youngster (Michael Jackson’s Thriller) I’ve had a strong passion for music.
Following on from Dawud’s recent tag, and to tie the meme more in line with the focus of my site, here I piece together a few excellently creative music videos. Combine the video with the music and […]
Something a little funky for the Saturday night build-up? If you enjoy good t-shirt design then check out the multitude on offer in this music video from Justice, called D.A.N.C.E. I had to watch it twice to catch the animations I missed first time around. “Do the DANCE!”
I was recently directed to an online catalogue of poster designs (thanks Blair) and thought I’d pick out some of the ones I enjoy and show them to you.
GigPosters.com is a site devoted to showcasing poster designs for the music industry. There’s a lot of rubbish in there (as you’d expect with the vast amount […]
Remember those weekend walks to the music store? Mix-tapes were all the rage and you wanted a tape-to-tape recording. There were a lot of different blank cassette tapes to choose from. Seems like ages ago, doesn’t it?
I came across a site today called tapedeck.org, for analog audio tape cassette nostalgia. It took me back a […]
With a CD cover as nicely designed as this, I wonder if the music lives up to its expectation. You know, I think I’ll have to have a listen.
I came across this design when checking out the Creative Review (CR) blog and their Record Sleeves of the Week 5 article. The CR blog is really […]
If you’re like me you’ll enjoy listening to music when doing some design work. You’ll also enjoy finding out about new artists that match your music tastes. There’s a nice FREE online music player that lets you enter your favourite musicians or bands and it’ll create custom stations around their music genre.
For instance, in my […]
Typography can be seen all around us, in almost every aspect of our lives. There’s a music video, called ‘The Child’ for French DJ Alex Gopher, which was created back in 1999 and it’s definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it already. In fact, even if you have it’s still enjoyable.
The video is […]
