The design above is the Creative Review marketing for their 'Illustrator Annual' competition. Much like the stock sample design on my older post, this design has a similar look. My thoughts here are more towards the shapes than the colours. More specifically the orange shape going across the centre of the frame. It mirrors shapes of natural landscapes which, in turn have a sound wave look about them.
Unfortunately the resource I obtained this piece of design from did not state who is was designed by. However, the site it is featured on is http://www.patternity.co.uk/. This table is something I stumbled upon, yet seems to be the most inspiring for this project. The aspect I find most interesting about this design is the contrast in textures and line. There is the contrast of flowing line to the more harsh angular line that is exactly what I am looking for.
From all of this I have found that, visually, sound and nature go hand in hand, and a collaboration of these two things within one design could create some interesting shapes that not only look visually stimulating, but also mean something- communicating a sound through an image, inspired by the shapes of nature.
The images above are all drawn by Marissa Textor. As stated above, here shapes are created with natural content. My idea is more of creating a natural shape with a more textured content that does not mirror the subject matter of the shape. These drawings are all really interesting form a graphic point of view.
