From the things I want to do when I grow up

Lots of people have personal projects. Lots of designers work in non-commissioned projects for the simply pleasure of being designing and creating. One of my personal projects is to design posters for my favorite tracks of all times. There are album covers, there are video clips and, nothing beats the power of the sound; but having Star Guitar or  Desired Constellation illustrating the walls of my flat would be a plus and having a song framed on still canvas is a completely different challenge than making use of moving image.

A group of designers and photographers were invited to visualize the tracks of the first album of Heaven 17. Heaven 17 is a British band from the infamous 80's that I just got to know about the existence in the mid 90's. And because of a film. They play one of my favorite tracks in the Trainspotting soundtrack: Temptation. The song led me to get to know the rest of their work and now, 15 years on, I am very curious to see the results of the designers interpretation that I guess will be above all, very graphic.

The band will perform commemorative gigs and the visualizations will serve as backdrop during the tracks execution. The artists (photographers are also taking part) announced to be working with pure animation, lights and, as expected, typography.
