here to present our second project :rhythm wall
this assignment is all about visual idea about the music genre we have been given .this is the continuity of the last project ,I am still doing reggae as my music genre .we are assigned to transform what we think ,the essence of the music ,the behavior into design .
in this project , I am mainly focusing on one of the essence of reggae music which is the story behind this music !
as we all know that bob Marley is the representatives,the icon ,the essence of reggae music and I got my inspiration from him for this assignment .
the keyword for this wall is: black communities , integrity , roots , leadership and peaceful.
this design is actually a tree,a normal tree.what I want to shows from this rhythm wall is the reggae music has been evolving since last time until now , but what matters the most is ,the roots ,the pure essence of music reggae is still there , has never been changes .As time goes by, reggae has been added more musical instruments and evolved into ska,reggae muffin ,reggae fission .....this shows that it changes with time but when ppl listen to the music , we still able to recognize that's reggae genre .the tree I have designed ,the brunches shows the urban reggae and the trunk shows the roots of reggae .this signify that now matter how reggae changes ,it still come from the roots of reggae .
besides that ,when u turn the rhythm wall upside down ,the brunches become the down part where the tree trunk turns upward .now,the brunches signify the black communities that have been suffered because of corruptions ,and the brunches follows up to the trunk and the trunk signifying bob Marley .the one and only man who stood up for the right and that's the reason why I use trunk to represent the hero and the brunches represent black communities. Bob Marley tried to use reggae to awaken and voice up the power for the black communities and this has improved the unity anong the poor and gather them together to strive for the same target .
the tags on the wall " stand up ",is one of the lyrics from Bob Marley famous song ,as he tried to convey his messages via music to go against government corruptions and voice up power for black communities.
the part where I put my tags "stand up" ,I have left it completely plain,white and clean except for the tags ,I wana shows the peacefulness and love he and they trying to promote to the world .
this is a wall design project , so if this design really applies in real life , the part for the tree trunk I have left it empty and it actually acts as a door for ppl to wall through
that's all for my ideas about this rhythm wall ;)
last but not least , a photo with my masterpiece !
