Music is one of my favorite ways to take my work in a different direction. I can start a piece with an idea in mind but depending on the music that is playing in the background it can take on an entirely different feel than the idea I started with. This piece is a perfect example of how music influenced a design. I started off with something old fashioned and Victorian in mind but I happened to be listening to oldies from the 60’s as I worked on it…. As you can see it morphed into something with a little bit of a “groovy” feeling….
Try this for yourself. Take out a sketch pad and just doodle to different kinds of music…. Does music change the way you put designs on paper?
