Have a look at the influence of  "the psychedelic" on design for your monday inspiration! 

Psychedelic design was one of the first indigenous American graphic design mannerisms. Born of LSD and marijuana drug crazes in the late 1960s, it was the language of the alternative rock-and-roll scene. It was also a code designed to appeal initially to those exponents of the youth culture, but it quickly spread like a virus into the mainstream of popular culture, where it lost much of its contraband aura.

How music can positively influence your designs:



If you've ever had trouble getting a certain style down while designing, or you're thirsty for some fresh design inspiration, then use music to positively influence your designs. Music and visual design have a lot in common. See, visual designs have a certain vibe, textural quality, tempo of the arrangement, and an energy. The same goes for music: a vibe, tonal quality, tempo of the tune, and the level of energy.

Brendon O' Dwyer on music and it's influence

Music is a huge part of my life, and it always has been. I can’t imagine life without it and I listen to it constantly. Sometimes, if I’ve gone a day or so without listening to any music, I’ll feel like there is something missing and soon realise I need to listen to that particular thought or feeling provoking song. -  BRENDON O’DWYER
