Understanding Popular Music

David Ventura

Sparks was asked at short notice to produce the layout for this full-colour music book for GCSE and A level students, after the publisher realised that the content was too complex for the original design. Sparks needed to present the information in an attractive and accessible way, incorporating numerous illustrations, feature boxes and pullouts, and extracts from musical scores set using Sibelius.

Type of work: setting musical examples, page layout, typesetting.
