Typefaces, maps and flags are all examples of visual languages that make differences within an overall paradigm very apparent and easily fathomable and serve as good reference points for what I aim to create. However, I need to bear the subject- music- in mind when forming the visuals as the aforementioned languages are (mostly) purposely reductive and this is somewhat at odds with the rich, diverse art that is music. Within this dichotomy of richness vs reduction is a balance which needs to be observed in my symbols.
The above typeface is a nice redrawing of Futura I stumbled across on Hetttty's blog, a collection of graphics and illustration by Belfast-based design student Heather Browne.
