In 2016, I worked closely with the new director of the Eastman Computer Music Center to craft the new visual look and style of the studio as it became the Eastman Audio Research Studio (EARS). This included a new visual identity and website to help execute on the new vision for the studio.
The website needed to be several things: a place to learn about the vision and mission of the studio, to find information on courses and events the studio offered each year, where decades of knowledge about audio environments students could be found, and importantly, a place where faculty and staff could request support from the studio when they performed fixed, live, or mixed-media works.
An Experimental Vision
With the brand, I looked into several different thematic ideas around sound waves, circuit design, and other thematically-linked symbols. And while I felt a few explorations had merit, it was the very first sketch that I did that ended up resonating the most.
