This is a creative lyrical mash-up of three different songs that are all under three minutes by three different female artists. This interactive piece can be manipulated and transformed in a number of ways. The lyric cards can be flipped and rearranged giving the viewer the option to create their own additional lyrical mix. The hand-cut and constructed box is meant to mimic a 7” vinyl record. The information card, or 13th card, lists artists and original song lyrics. Backs of cards are clear ink printed on bright yellow/green with numbers that indicate intended sequence of lyrics/cards. Each artist’s lyrics are represented by different text treatments so you can follow each lyric separately or read as the mashed-up version.
As this was a project for Experimental Typography I wanted to take this opportunity to play with type by utilizing different fonts, scale, layering, textures, etc. As the songs represented in this project have an edgy feel I wanted that to come forward in the design. It's a little messy, busy, and loud ... much like a rock song.
