Following the crit, I have chosen to focus on one particular band for this project.
I decided that it would be a lot better to one single band and illustrate 6 songs of theirs rather than choosing 6 bands, and subsequently picking individual songs of theirs. I want to give one band a visual identity by visually representing their 6 song EP and separating it into 6 different sections.
I have picked an up and coming band called 'The Cape Race' who are from Manchester. I have chosen them because they are releasing an EP called 'Now Voyager' this month and are promoting it in an unusual way... by creating a music video for each song, essentially separating the EP into 6 different parts and visually representing each to get the audience to inter-act with each song.
This sounded perfect to me, and they have lyrics which I can really work with visually.
I sent an e-mail to the band asking them if there was any way they could annotate the songs... so that I can get a better idea of hidden meanings that I may not pick up on which would be a shame. I want to push this to the maximum extent and really produce something that means something.
These are the lyrics and annotations that they very kindly sent to me.
I have a lot to work with here and am now going to go about doing lists of possible visuals for each song.
I am then going to compile a collage using different media, create a poster and subsequently draw aspects from each poster to create the range of merchandise. Essentially splitting each song into a band with it's own merch.
