TRANSPOSING MUSIC
SHAPES INTO ALBULM ART

Full PDF of the transposed music from my notebook scanned in. 

Probally one of my favorite projects in Typography 2. We were tasked to listen to a song and an alternate way of reading the music. I decided to create a linear system of shapes that would symbolize all of the different sounds from the song "All I Need" by Air. I broke the song into measures by second so it could be followed as someone listened to it. 
The final task was to make a final product from the material. I developed an album cover suited for a vinyl that incorporated the shapes (some 3D others 2D) from the original system.
