Master Project 2014

I did it! I am now Master in Communication Design (cand. design), and I owe you guys a short summary and pictures of my final product. So here goes...

This is a visualisation of music; a graphic notation that is defined as the representation of music through visual symbols. My objective has been to create a system that enhances the visual perception of the complexity entailed in the language of the notes and in the building of the composition as a whole.

The purpose of the visualisation is to create a tool for conductors that will enable them to acquire a better overview and a more intuitive feel of the entire composition and so improve the communication between conductor and musician. In addition, the visualisation enhances the specific musical links between all parts of the composition.

Based on the role of the conductor I have translated selected elements of the composition including rhythm, dynamics, phrases, entries, and classification of parts. On top of this, my work serves as a visual invitation to everyone to pursue a better understanding of the complexity of music. It is an experience and an entry into the world of music.

If you are interested in getting your hands on your very own copy of my graphic composition, go visit the graduation exhibition at Koldinghus. The exhibition runs until september 28 and there are still copies left.

If you are not able to visit Koldinghus this summer, don't hesitate to contact me for shipping information. So this is it. I am ready to conquer the world, in my own humble way — and if you want to watch me doing so, you are very welcome to follow my creative whims and everyday life as a graphic designer at Instagram @gjode or check my website.
