Track: Letitkillyou by Justin Huebner

I listened to the song by Chapters and my mind was taken to an island. The idea of isolation and death, yet hope and beauty. I made an anchor holding down the island showing the weight dragging it down and the chain is the lyrics “We are all drowning.” It is a dark storm with this essence of beauty that attracts people and makes them think. There’s a crow looking into the distance and his vision can be seen through the storm which shows there’s something to look forward to. The tree represents life and the moon is shining light upon it to keep it alive.

Track: Along the Way by Keith Coplin

I felt very relaxed while listening to the song “Along the Way,” by Keith Coplin. My poster come from ideas of stress and stress relievers, which include skating, and doing things you love to do. The fire represents stress as does the zombie and when you’re stressed you just feel worn out, tired, and dead like a zombie. So when I listen to the song I think of everything that stresses me out, the things that don’t, and put them into one piece because the song also is very chill.

Track: Letitkillyou by Justin Huebner

The group, “Chapters,” illuminated myself with a perspective of a chilled entity. Classic beauty is the embodiment of the piece, “Letitkillyou.” The relaxing and ominous intensity that flows throughout the mind is a true euphoric experience. The collaboration of guitars, vocals and drums formed a moralized human that became the elaborate beast of the song.

Track: The Feeling by Alex Kelly

My design response was inspired by the song “The Feeling” by artist Alex Kelly. This song is filled with many interesting beats that bring strong visualization to my mind. I immediately thought of dolphins, vibrant colors, high energy, and a trippy outer space vibe. I represented that imagery by integrating dolphins jumping between a set of speakers in outer space, bright curvy lines, and implied textures and patterns.

Track: Letitkillyou by Justin Huebner

In the song “Letitkillyou” there is a line saying “I woke up at the bottom of the sea.” I decided to visualize that imagery. I expressed that line by showing the ocean filled with silhouettes of sea creatures. I then used a bubble-letter text for the lyrics and distorted them to create an organic feel.

AUDIO CHROMA CD (All Tracks)

I created this piece because the whole album reminded me of death and dark topics, such as skulls. I also added the lightning in the background to make the poster pop. Some of the songs in the album reminded me of peace and love, so I drew some flowers to balance death and peace in my drawing. The album was very different for me because I’ve never heard some of the types of music that were played. I found the songs very interesting and I hope I can do a project like this again.

Track: Hunger by Alex Dickmann

Alex Dickmann’s song “Hunger” inspired me to design my drawing by his background music. When listening to his song I felt as if the song was kind of “Halloweenish” and “American Horror Story” theme song. The way I designed my drawing was in sections from his music. The hand with the blade finger represents the background music and the way you can hear the “blades” in the background. The skull represents the main idea as in the main music, right when I started listening to his song it made me think of Halloween and the theme song from American Horror story.

Track: The Feeling by Alex Kelly

“In Love With a Love That Doesn’t Exist.” — This piece and the song fit with each other like a puzzle. The song is abstract, slow, and toned down. In my eyes I see a couple who is about to let go of each other but had to connect one more time.

The woman to the left is what the male is thinking: She wants to stay together, she holds onto him tight. The hands on both corners are showing them still holding each other but letting go.
