Item Restricted Designing for Electronic Music After the COVID-19 Crisis : An Approach to Understanding the Implications for Graphic Designers(2022) Léa Sadoine; Bernhardt, Anna; Ewers, Felix; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the music industry, particularly live events, causing the electronic music industry to adapt and undergo changes. This thesis explores the connection between electronic music, its visual design, and the effects of the pandemic on the industry. By studying the history of electronic music and its sub-genres, the thesis aims to understand the contextual relationship between music genres and design elements. It also evaluates how the pandemic accelerated the digitalization of the music industry and analyzes the impact on live events, online streaming, and the mental health of artists during lockdowns. The research methodology includes a combination of primary and secondary sources. Semi-formal interviews were conducted with electronic music listeners, makers, and a PR manager representing music artists. These interviews provide valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of individuals involved in the electronic music scene. Understanding the objectives and dynamics of collectives and labels in the electronic music industry is essential for graphic designers working in this field. The thesis emphasizes the importance of aligning design with the goals and characteristics of the collective or label being represented, considering factors such as branding, marketing, and networking.

This thesis focuses on the public bus transportation system in Karlstad, Sweden, to explore how visual and communication design can facilitate better interactions between bus drivers and passengers in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Drawing on interviews, current practices, and literature, the research aims to develop an inclusive design approach that addresses not only the specific needs of individuals with Alzheimer's but also those with other health conditions or even children. The broader objective is to enhance the quality of life for older adults by reducing social isolation and promoting community engagement, thus contributing to more equitable and compassionate public transportation systems.
