RESEARCH/INSIGHT
Sound enhances the emotional and sensory impact of film. It’s also extremely dynamic. I created a graphic language for this project which can be both quiet and loud in affect.
SOLUTIONSound Designer is a new publication which highlights sound design in film. The layout choices emphasize bold, punchy headlines, negative space, and asymmetry to both generate awareness and capture emotion.
