"My final project pieces were inspired by the influence of music in everyday life and how different genres can impact personalities, emotions and behaviours differently, although in a way these results are connected with research behind them. For my pieces I used a range of medias to experiment on to find what would work for my final piece, as I did not know what do to for it. I made keyrings, earrings, screen-prints, digital illustrations, Lino prints, collages, stickers, painting, badges, zines, mock-ups and posters. Some were individual designs, and most were developed into another piece.

The main theme I tried to keep up was to associate the genres of music with the art style I was re-creating them as- for example, pop music was made into pop art digitally with bright block colours, heavy metal was presented in black and red designs on screen-print, folk music was presented in Lino art with soft gradient colours.

My original plan or my final piece was to screen-print heavy metal designs onto vinyl’s however the results did not suit my expectations for a final piece, so I re-created research charts into a poster by making digital illustrations from a zine I made as experimentation. I liked the results of a poster, so I decided to create pop art style posters inspired by this along with mock-ups. I made pop art style posters digitally and through Lino printing too."
