I guess one of the greatest dreams of any band is to have an iconic picture someday. A picture taken at the right moment, at that one visceral point in a band's existence, might be the one that immortalizes it. Through out music history, we've seen some great examples of iconic pictures, like the ones here.
When you want to start a career as a graphic designer another possibility for staying motivated & creative and exchange opinions is to join an art community. There are big ones like DepthCore and EvokeOne and there are smaller ones like SlashThree.
I was searching for inspiration when I ran into one of my favorite videos, Beck's E-pro music video. Then I realized that I have been looking for inspiration in images most of the time, but videos can be much more inspiring plus there's music which makes it even more interesting and exciting.
Last year for my birthday, a friend of mine got me "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" by Coldplay. For the past year, this album has been playing non-stop in my car on every morning drive to school and then every drive back home. Track 9, Strawberry Swing, went on repeat at least 3 times. Now finally, a year later, on July 20th they make a video for this wonderful song!
What's design without music? What's music without design? I wanted to add on to Paulo's post, 30 Totally Cool Band Posters, because I, too, have always had a thing for indie gig posters, and coincidentally enough, I also stumbled upon the same website, gigposters.com
Some friends of mine play in a instrumental rock band called "Você Nunca Viu". They got a pretty cool sound, and one of the things I like the most about indie bands in general are the posters! Yes, posters play a big role for these bands.
Today makes 28 years since the biggest legend of reggae passed away, Bob Marley will sure be remembered for a lot more years for the person he was and the for the message that he still passes on through his music, check out some artworks and don't worry because every little thing will be alright.
Friday we'll be celebrating Abduzeedo's 2nd birthday. We are really happy with the tremendous growth we had during this year. And to begin the celebration works, how about a 80's party?? Heck, yeah. Enjoy these, people! ;)
There's been a long time since I've actually visited any band site. But today I was wondering how band were presenting themselves in the web, and it's been a cool ride.
For some time now, Daft Punk has been one of the best electronic groups out there. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter form this fantastic duo, with no need for further presentations here.
So, following our music artists inspiration posts, here is some sweet inspiration of Daft Punk. Enjoy! Cheers! ;)
