'Major Scale' is a series of infinite data visualisations depicting musical harmony.
The project emerged as by-product from my thought-piece Musicality of Design Systems, exploring how the formulas and conventions within music can provide solutions to problems of design at scale.
As I explored how to illustrate musical formulas such as scales and keys I arrived at these striking, terse, almost brutal visualisations evolved.
Each constellations represent the chords, scales and progressions that are prevalent through music by plotting their constituent notes on the chromatic wheel.
Music is a powerful mover/shaker in our world and believe the highly flexible and loosely-coupled frameworks of pitch, harmony, timbre, rhythm and tempo represent the perfect model for developing scalable products.
I've adopted the Major Scale design system as the basis for my personal branding to reflect my passion for music and the values of scalable, system-based design thinking.
