Beastie Boys


















Experimentung with music waves and typography. For each word of the Beastie Boys lyric I have used garage band to work out how loud the word is projected over the length of time the word is projected from this I intend to experiment with different typography treatments to make to flat 2d type become energetic and refer to the song.


The above experiment using beastie boys lyrics didn't work due to how fast the song was.

Type treatments:

width - length over word
Height of the word - the level of output

Dull songs 
Short words sharp
Longer words on the wave length diffused/ blurred/ overlapped

Drop shadow - how loud the projection of the lyric is.

I think by creating a basic font or use an existing font and add textures and break up the vector lines it will give it a more distorted varied look rather than being clean and computerised.
