If I ever had to design anything for a band, it would definitely be for Radiohead. The melody and lyrics produced throughout their career is outstanding. They always manage to keep up with the expectations of their fans. Possibly true that after I heard this band perform live, my affection and appreciation towards them increased.

After I finished my digital proposal design, I instantly wanted to create the concept, to get a better idea if the proposal would work or not.
All in all, I think that the material used, and the way I approached the illustration, supports and extends the brand identity captured in the album selected. More concepts, using the same material obviously came about, for instance creating stencils of the doodles created and the user would design their own patterns.
Today's music scene is slowly growing, and differentiating in styles. One of the newest styles of music that has broken out is a generally unrecognized genre of music called "Geek Rock." By taking the meaningful lyrics of Emo, the heavy guitar riffs of Grunge, and the do-it-yourself attitude of Indie rock, this genre forms a new-wave approach to music.

For instance, the easiest way to target a bands success is to evaluate their awards and the accumulative amount of sales that they have received. Money is always a good measurement of worth because typically the more sales that a band has the more supporters the...
