CLIENT:
Polyphonic
concept work for a student project

The end of the year is always a big time for music listeners. Best-of lists come out of the woodwork and we all become a music critic with a playlist to share on our biggest hits, fresh finds, and defining artists/sounds.

Polyphonic’s streaming community is made up of particularly keen ears – an active group of record store aficionados digging up the best in indie and underground releases.

For the platform’s 2020 profile, I took inspiration from another big event of the year – and no, this one doesn’t start with a “C” and end with an “OVID”.

The design of the Surround Sound website (and the accompanying printed report and merch) has its birth in the iconic scenes of the American election, political campaigning, and – inevitably – the clarion call to get out there and rock the vote.
