Alpine Soundtrack



I have been given a brief which is based on a clothing brand name called Supremebeing. In this brief, I haved been asked to look at a new Clothing Line called Alpine Soundtrack



These are some words that came to mind:

-Nature-Animals-Mountains-Water-Headphones-Musical Insturments-Baseline-Vibrations-Ripples-Colour-Photography-Mixed Media-Urban-Retro-Un-Clean-Outdoors-Trees-Forest-Dirt-Mark Making-Style-Cold-Weather-Image-Beauty-Superficial-Role Models-Fur-Leather-forest cabins-hiking-mountain climbers-mountain climbing equipment-Musical equipment-

Here are some Images I have looked at



These Images are of mountain ranges and give me alot of different ideas. My favourite image is the one on the top left hand corner. I like this image as it reminds me of the Noise line you see in Music editing programs to show noise levels and use of different insturments and the base. It is interesting as I dont think that this was the intention at all.




I like the various ways in which music can be symbolised. I also like the fashion involved with music which could prove suitable to this particular project.



Hunting is something that came to mind when i was thinking about mountains. There might be a way in which I can maybe tie this in to the project.

I began sketching and painting some ideas out to see what the would look like. Here is some of my work

Luckily I found some Photographs that I had taken up near Killay during the snowy winter we had this year. They are very visually effective and shape the landscape's hills and mountains beautifully. Here are some of them:

I also took a drive up the Sperrin Mountains and got quite a few nice photographs:

I decided that I should make use of the photographs I have taken, as some of them are quite nice, but also make use of the sketches and paintings I have done aswell. I decided I might put the images on to photoshop and combine the two medias to see what sort of thing I can come up with. Here are some of what I have done:
