Initial ideas:
- "vector taxonomy' of synths, sequencers, mixers, cables and rigs / set ups of hardware and how it works
- Pick 10 iconic synths, 5 iconic sequencers, 5 mixers, 3 types of cable + adaptor - draw for each: front view, back view, top view. Include measurements, annotation, manufacturers logo a bio, history and famous users for each.
- Some of the items could have exploded views?
Product:
- 1 complete publication and a proposal for another (eg music software interface & music interface) - cover and a double page spread for proposal. Content as above.
Range
- Hand printed posters of hardware, this can become promotional ads for the publication but also for the hardware itself. (Ad for each manufacturer featured eg Akai, Korg, Moog etc.)
- Ads can also take shape in web & commercial print formats - spottily ads, banners and posters for music retailers
- set of stickers to go on synths
Distribution
- Could be an E - Book / E Book sample + hard copy sold on line and in store (Who? specify what company would publish a book like this, and who would sell it.)
- Ads on billboards, buses, posters
- Exhibition graphics - an exhibition is something that would fit with this type of cataloguing and information well. - Post cards, way finding graphics, tickets and info.
- An Iphone app could be proposed - eg a sequencer that would actually play beats or sounds - would need sound banks, settings menus etc. "miniMoog" app.
Research driven illustration - with a focus on print delivery and print/online promotion.
