Writer and all around observer Adrian Shaughnessy talks about the effects of music on the designer and their ubiquitous connection.
“I’ve never worked in a design studio where music wasn’t played pretty much constantly. Nor can I recall visiting a studio where music wasn’t being played, or where designers weren’t wired up to headphones and bobbing rhythmically to unheard sounds. What is it with graphic designers and music? Is there a symbiotic relationship between the two? Are there studios where music is considered a hindrance? Or does music aid creative thinking and make us better designers?”

this is so funny! we have music going ALL of the time at our studio. when there’s no music, it feels awkward and dead. when the music is on, it kinda feels like it connects all of us together and makes us more aware of being in one room together, each of us working hard and doing our part for the team. it’s hard to explain. i can’t work in silence unless i’m by myself. with other people, i need the music.
