Merlin, Lenart (author), Erič, Milan (mentor), Ražman, Roman (comentor)

V delu bom na kratko opisal povezavo med glasbo in vizualnim, začetke tehnične reprodukcije zvoka in razvoj materialnih nosilcev zvoka. Osrednja tematika je vloga naslovnice plošče. Raziskal bom razvoj tega grafično oblikovalskega medija in njegovo vlogo skozi čas. Sledi analiza nekaterih naslovnic plošč. Osredotočil se bom na plošče, izdane pri založbah, ki so delovale v Jugoslaviji, predvsem plošče izvajalcev rock glasbe. Opisal bom odnos med glasbeniki, založbami in oblikovalci. V ta namen sem opravil tudi dva intervjuja. Dotaknil se bom »problema« internetnega poslušanja in izumiranja materialnih nosilcev zvoka. Za praktični del sem posnel 5 avtorskih skladb, za katere sem izdelal ovitek za izdajo na vinilni plošči.

• Title: ALBUM COVER; Analysis of releases from Slovenia and ex Yugoslavia and design of album cover for solo album

Abstract

I will describe in short the correlation between music and visuals, the beginnings of technological reproduction of sound and the development of physical audio formats. My central theme is the role of album cover. I will make a research of this medium of graphic design and its place through time. Following is an analysis of some album covers. My main focus will be on records released by Yugoslav labels, specifically records of rock artists. I will try to depict the relations between musicians, record labels and the designer. For this purpose I conducted two interviews. I will briefly point out the ‘problem’ of music streaming and the rapid extinction of physical audio formats. For my praxis I recorded 5 songs, meant to be put on vinyl, and designed a packaging for it.
