Pantone Presents: The Colour of Music

  • Andrew Finnie
2014 saw 50 years of the Panone Matching System. As a celebration, this brief asked for a publication that used colour in an exciting way and I chose to celebrate using songs about colour chosen from each decade of the PMS. I created illustrations in the style of a Victorian puppet theatre with paper parts created by hand. These showed the lyrics from each chosen track with the colour word replaced with the suiteable pantone swatch. The book took influence from 12 inch vinyl records with its own paper sleeve and a sticker placed on the front in the same way as a vinyl disc.
