I recently got in touch with Caterina Bianchini who is a freelance designer specialising in branding, editorial and art direction. Although she is now freelance, she has worked for studios such as DixonBaxi but also is the senior designer at Boiler Room. And this how I came across Caterina's work, she produced a 10 year anniversary posterzine for the music streaming platform which caught my eye and since then Ive kept up to date with her work.
A lot of her clients are music based such as Boiler Room but also Truth Radio, L'atmonie and many other music event nights not just in the Uk but worldwide. Her involvement in the music industry triggered me to get in contact with Caterina over Instagram as I believed she could offer some valuable research for my context of practice essay which is titled 'What is the role of graphic design in the underground electronic music scene?' Not only was I looking for research but also a real insight into her practice and graphic design within the music industry. After we exchanged messages through Instagram I sent some questions over to her email and the response is as follows:
Her replies were just what I was after for context of practice, but I feel I got a lot more out of this personally for myself than for my essay research. She gives some advice and opinions which are inspiring but I could also relate to a number of points she makes such as having the time to continuously develop work and also the point of acceptance in your own work.
