Essay.pdfThis essay will analyse, discuss and find out the difference in visual styles in the different music genres; pop, rock, punk and hip hop. It’s interesting to look at art and design in the music industry, because there is a lot of interesting work to investigate. Music is a very creative industry and it’s important for the success to have a certain look, attitude and image. Music is fun to illustrate. We all have different feelings and emotions when it comes to listening to music. Most people have a favourite song or a genre they like best. Maybe it’s because music can relate directly to your heart and emotions, it can in a split second bring to you memories, tears, joy, dancing or singing. In the latest years we have a habit of downloading music form the web. The urge to sell a CD cover or poster becomes more important now then ever. Designers must give the buyer a reason to collect the originals, like before the 1980s when the vinyl records and its art were well appreciated.
Chapter one will introduce four different genres of music. These are pop, rock, punk and hiphop. Different bands and artists from each genre will be considered to find out if their visuals have anything to do with their success.
Chapter two will focus on exciting and well known designers, their efforts and who they have designed for.
Chapter three will analyse and compare the designers and the different genres of music. This essay hopes to find out which genre uses more art, and why. It wants to inform you about the unique designers who design music covers and packaging, their thoughts and their visual style. It will compare the differences in the different music genres, to find out if what seems obvious, that hip hop and pop uses more sex than art, really is true.
