My name is Jessica Mears and am a graphic designer at AgencyWeb. Over the weekend, I completed my thesis at SCAD-Atlanta! My thesis show included two other graduate graphic design students were we rented a gallery space and invited friends, family, colleagues and professors to view our work.
My thesis topic dealt with “The Relationship Between Typography and Music.” As graphic designers, it is important to find different outlets for inspiration. For me, music is my inspiration. So for my thesis, I wanted to demonstrate and design a typeface, informational charts representing the “Property of Sound” and “Tones of Music” and how they can be translated into glyphs or typographical treatments which could inspire other designers when designing type.
The question I asked throughout my thesis was “is there a cross culture relationship between typography and music?” I demonstrated my answer of the relationship between music and typography through designing a typeface called Requiem that was inspired from a song by the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
*Requiem, the typeface is available for purchase
