New Graphic Beats: Contemporary Visual Music Design

Graphic design has never been more vital to the music industry. Decades ago, new releases and tours depended on billboards and print ads. Today, with the rise of streaming, music has become increasingly visual-design now serves as a musician's "opening statement." This book delves into the world of music design, showcasing works across eras, styles, and media. From vinyl sleeves to streaming platforms, from posters to live music VI, it traces the evolution of music's visual language. Through in-depth designer interviews and critical analysis, the book explores how visual art and music intertwine, and looks ahead to the future of music design.
