Notes about illustrating music
- Listen to the music as a whole
- Sum it up as an album / vibes
- Starts with writing things down as opposed to drawing straight away
- Got to believe in what you do!
Look up: Hatchprint (Nashville), Bruno Record Coves
- Two or three colours, two or three icons
- To be a designer for music you have to be a FAN of music
- Your limitations become your assets
- Struggles to make a living being solely an illustrator in this country (teaches also)
- Hawley lets Rhodes chose the image "I'm not a designer, I chose to work with people who's design I admire."
- Relationship is built on trust
After Thoughts
- Good to know that well established musician trusts illustrator to make the work without being too constricting (similar to my personal experience working with musicians)
- Very helpful to hear how Rhodes goes about making imagery for the music; writing first then illustrating; treating the album as a whole / atmosphere
- Music illustration still something I'm very interested in, little worrying about what Rhodes said about not being able to make enough money being a full time illustrator in this country (???) Just his experience however?
