DMA455 Final Project RFP


For this project, the goal is to create an online only, stand-alone deployment of an audio visual video. We are to use visual elements to describe sounds or music. The song that will be used will either be an instrumental of Mutemath’s Noticed, or Pink Floyd’s Money. I have chosen these songs because they are somewhat simple, yet intricate at the same time. In listening to these songs, I can visualize the different frequency levels displayed in different ways, and so would like to put this to life.
My inspiration for this is the abstract qualities from the examples demonstrated by HYPE Frameworks as well as www.mathandflash.com.
Any font that will be used throughout the video will be STRUNGOUT by Xerographer Fonts. I have chosen this because it gives the impression of ‘abstract’ and is also very visually aesthetic compared to typical serif/ sans serif fonts, while still being ‘toned down’.
Colors that will be used are as follows: (hexadecimal values)





Most of the colours are warm colours, and this will be to emphasize bigger actions or ‘spikes’ from the frequencies. The darker cool colours are meant to be background colours, still serving to the overall picture.
