About Underground Music Promotional Graphics

This work is an example of how anti-mainstream musicians (often referred as “underground” or “DIY”) depict their music through promotional graphics, uniting sound with visual expression. Designers of these pieces gain total freedom of expression by producing pieces like these in-house—often literally with collaborative making in their homes. Designers might choose production methods for ease of access, as a statement against mainstream production and capitalism, to eliminate digital screens and make by hand, or purely for artistic expression.
