I would like to congratulate everyone for their amazing work. It has been a pleasure working with you all.

Here are the final finshed posters. Well done everyone!!!

 To check out the process of the project and its concept have a look bellow

The concept of this project is that you, the Noise participants, are getting a chance to have your voices heard in the form of music posters that will be put up in public for the world to see. The project will happen over the course of a few months and the first part is as follows….

You will each pick an issue relating to the effects of today’s society has on you. You might want to discuss with your friends to see what they have to say or look at the comments that others have posted. The most important thing is that this is your chance to be heard.

When you have a chosen topic, as a way of starting to find some inspiration, search for music lyrics that reflect your feelings on your chosen topic. You can also write your own lyrics or words.


While searching the net you may want to have a look at some music posters for inspiration.

One of the posters featured is Silkscreen movie promo poster for Such Hawks Such Hounds: Scenes from the American Hard Rock Underground. Limited edition of 111, signed and numbered by Malleus. Found on http://pipecreekposters.com/

You might find some ideas on these sites http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/themes , http://www.quotegarden.com/music.html,

Here are some links to irish artists website have a look at the stuff that they are doing you may get some great inspiration from them.http://willstleger.wordpress.com/, www.tinylittlehorse.com, www.frankenstyles.com, http://www.briancoldrick.com/, www.lovetherobot.com, http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauradeb/

Below is an example of a possible thought process for the listen to the Noise project.

Imagine that I am uploading each section to the noise page as I go along.

Im interested in Zen Buddism so I just had a little look on the net to find a saying that I liked the look of. I found this one.

The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet.
Shunryu Suzuki

http://www.oneproverb.net/bwfolder/zenproverbs.html

The reason that I like this is that it is a good tip for us to live by and especially for young people finding your feet in the world.

Having found the saying I looked for imagery that would relate to the saying and to the message that I was trying to portray. Once again I scanned the net. I could also have gone out and taken some photos or simply take pictures of my feet. I liked this one.

So now I go about making a poster with this. The important point here is that seen, as it’s a work in progress it’s important to put up the work as you go along. So you might try out various versions of the same poster.

Here is the first attempt that I did messing about on Microsoft Paint & HP image zone.

This is an example of another possible thought process for the listen to the Noise project.

Imagine that I am uploading each section to the noise page as I go along.

For this session I looked at the sites that I had posted as a starting point. While doing so I had the idea of looking at quotes relating to potential issues e.g., confidence, intimidation etc. This quote below attracted me.

‘So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses.... That proves something - that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human.  Hmp, maybe we need a police force of children’.  ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 16, spoken by the character Atticus

What I liked about this is that it echoes certain angles of our project as in the strength of influence you all could have.

So from there once again I searched for some images and here are some I thought I could use for example a pride of lions and a photo of a child and adults hand (featured below)

Having messed about on PhotoShop for a while I came up with this poster idea.

There are still a lot of changes or adjustments I would do to these for example, the text needs some work, but the point is that it’s a jump off point, something to work with.

The Japanese one attracted me because I love Japanese print work. I actually use it for a book mark now. What attracted me to the apple one was the use of colour and quirkyness. I have included the others because they are a good example of simple but effective graphics.

Here are pictures taken of some of our  brainstorm collages.

We came up with issues that felt relate to the youth of today and used magazines to find words that reflect our ideas and to source some interesting text styles.

Here are some quotes that I found. You might find them interesting or a good source of inspiration.

http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/themes

"Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind."

A Midsummer Night's Dream (I, i, 234) Shakespeare

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thrust upon 'em."

Twelfth Night (II, v, 156-159) Shakespeare

“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.”

Othello Act 3, scene 3, 155–161 Shakespeare

Without music life would be a mistake.  ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Music is what feelings sound like.  ~Author Unknown

Play the music, not the instrument.  ~Author Unknown

Music is the shorthand of emotion.  ~Leo Tolstoy

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/f/frank_zappa.html

‘Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
Frank Zappa

The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.
Frank Zappa

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.
Frank Zappa

Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa

Another source of inspiration for visuals could be album covers having read a Rolling Stone magazine that documents some of the all time greatest covers I thought you might want to check it out http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5938174/the_rs_500_greatest_albums_of_all_time

In my opinion, some of adults see the "Youth of Today"; especially teenagers, as useless.

You'd swear that adults were never

teenagers themselves.                    

Worries about the economy etc. have taken the memories.

In response to this idea, I made this. A few words from Play Radio Play!'s "Compliment Eachother", one of my favorite pictures, [which I took on a beach in Scotland] and a negitive effect.

This one is a bit harder to decipher. I'd say take your own view and stick to it. The graphics came from the internet.  The REQUIEM refers to the present generation that will be deceased or senile, when WE are in charge. (Of sorts.) 

 HERE'S a simple Haiku that I came up with. The vocab is pretty simple.

I made this one using Microsoft Paint, but I think it looks good. I love the colours too.

 I have this GREAT Oscar Wilde quote! Lookie here...

...what a cool dude.

I wanted to find something, primarily a word thing (quote, phrase, extract or poem) that included bits on the young, the middle, and the old.

After racking the internet I found this:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find who the poet was.  But I want anyone who comes across to read it.  I want to know if I should make a poster out of it.  And any suggestions for an image would be great.  Thanks. :)

Here's a poster using the Oscar Wilde...

I've tweaked it a little bit.

its just soo cool lookin =p and it goes with what i wanna do =]

"With every puppet comes a puppeteer" basically means don't be a puppet in life; have your own mind, make your own opinions, have your own beliefs and make informed decisions rather than having people make decisions for you (aka the puppeteer.)

The Nowhere Man picture had pretty much the same meaning behind it. I got the words from the song "Nowhere Man" by The Beatles. That really gave me the whole image in my mind that I wanted - a fed up man looking a bit lost.

"Save some face you know you've only got one" is a line from the song Smile Like You Mean it by The Killiers.

Heeey (: Em this is my first poster .. I just really  wanted to say like that the music we listen to shouldnt matter to others like its a personal choice and to most teenagers ,a bit of an escape I guess .. And i also wanted to say that we conform to society today so the least society could do is respect the only thing we have essentially our music choice .. anywaaay .. hope you like it (:
