Studio Brief 2 - Task 3

Task 3
- 10 drawings related to your object using a spreadsheet program (excel)

Figure 1

Figure 2

A lot of the designs are fairly conceptual as I think these are more interesting, but Figure1 and 2 are drawings made on the spreadsheet with the intention for them to look as similar to the cassette tape as possible. I used different shades of grey to make the different layers and shapes on the cassette tape stand out as much as possible.

The song 'c30, c60, c90, go!' by Bow Wow Wow was the first single to ever be recorded onto the cassette tape, so i thought it would be important to include this somehow into the designs. Figure 3 and 4 show the bar chart style of design to represent the chorus of the song. The 3 squares high stands for 'c30', 6 squares high stands for 'c60' etc. I looked at the chorus and ordered the bar height arrangement into the order that the numbers are sung. Figures 3 and 4 show two different interpretations of the chorus.

Figure 5

I found a screen printed poster from the 60s that was used to promote the release of the song, so I drew out the word 'GO!' onto Excel and then used the exact colours that were used on the poster.

As the cassette tapes main function is to provide the user with sound, I thought it was necessary to once again look at the different ays that a sound wave could be presented. Figure 6 and 7 focus on trying to show the different layers with in an individual song, having a different style of 'wave' to represent each instrument and part.
