Creative Design: Professional
Author: Jessica L. Ridgway (Florida State University)
This design used the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia as an inspiration for creating the textile print. The design challenge sought to emulate this phenomenon through the creation of a textile print, which embodies color hearing through the depiction of sound as color. This type of emulation is known as psychomimicry. The song Bridal Chorus was used as a road map for creating the digital textile print. The end result is a striped digital print that visually depicts the sound of Bridal Chorus in color. Historical references were used as the inspiration for the color and silhouette.
