Love you Mac. January 19 1992

It has been three years since I signed up on tumblr and created this account as a school assignment for a graphic design course. I told myself I would share my passion for music and creativity in this account. Although I am not as active as I would like to be, it still is nice to have a place to share my appreciation for creativity.

The word online is defined according to others as creative expression

The original album cover art was designed by Miller McCormick, Mac’s brother. My favorite songs from this album are Cinderella, Dang, Stay, Soulmate, God is fair, sexy nasty feat Kendrick Lamar. :) What are your favorite Mac songs ? 

First of I want to say that this song has become one of my favorite nothing nowhere songs. Second, I had to share this mv for the sake of video art inspiration for its monochromatic style. I do believe that color played a major role in the design of the video because it sets the mood of the song. Throughout the imagery you will see few colors, mostly different reds, pink followed by black and white. Although limited with color, there are various moments where the camera captures light beautifully radiating blues, magenta, and yellow. In these moments the light gives a warm lively setting compared to other scenes where the red tones are darker and give a colder vibe. This music video is a perfect example of how color can affect the composition of the music video and help translate the song visually in a successful manner.

In times like this I think it’s important to find happiness with oneself and be strong. Life can be tough but you have to find the energy to uplift your spirit and keep moving forward without reason of expecting perfection in this life or the approval of others expectations. 

Given the situation of the world these words seemed best fitting. I wanted to create #typography #calligraphy art and was inspired by the lyrics from #joeybadass land of the free song. This particular quote derives from #biggiesmalls though.

Bring Me The Horizon - sugar honey ice & tea mv is today’s Music Inspires Design Spotlight! This particular video serves as creative inspiration for its intense visual presence and amount of detail. The video is a collage of videos, for it consists of multiple media forms layered into one. I appreciate the use of color, text, graphics, animation, and style variation. For any creative artist out there, if you are ever running out of editing ideas, this is your go to video. 

Other music projects Takashi has worked on are Kids See Ghosts album cover  which is a collaboration between Kanye West and Kid Kudi. Murakami worked with Billie Eilish on her music video “You should see me in a crown”, where his iconic anime like characters are displayed. Last but not least he recently teamed up with J Balvin on his Colores album, where Takashi’s signature flower is used throughout the album’s theme.

Today’s music inspires design spotlight goes to the entire music video collection for Mac Miller’s Circles. Since the first music video that came out of the latest album I fell in love with the visual graphics, and cohesive visual aesthetic that is present throughout the entire video collection. All of them capture Mac’s unforgettable charisma and unique traits that made him who he was. What I personally love about the videos is how there is a combination of different mediums such as real images, video footage, and animation to make one piece of artwork come to life. The videos create a unique experience that encompasses Mac’s music and whole self.

I created this animated illustration in honor of Mac Miller’s birthday. I am beyond thankful for the art he created. Mac Miller was a passionate soul when it came to the music he created. I will always admire his dedication and love for music. We love you Mac Miller.

Today’s music inspires design spotlight goes to Meg Myers music video for her song “Running up That Hill”. The video is beautiful, and eye-catching. It captures the viewer throughout the whole time with its mesmerizing colors and constant change in motion.  I was amazed at the creative approach taken and for this reason it serves as creative inspiration for how music and other forms of art come together.

I’ve been a fan of twenty one pilots since they released Vessel. I discovered the group through the first Creative Allies art contest they held. The very first song I listened to was Car Radio and immediately fell in love. Since then I’ve appreciated the entire discography they have released and also Tyler’s earlier music projects. I will always be inspired to create, and use their music to fuel my creativity |-/.
