Sabrina Ma is a percussionist based in Germany. Apart from marimba and xylophone, many percussion instruments cannot produce melodies. They can only express changes in sound volumes, rhythms and different sound textures. I believe that the major difference between percussion and other musical instruments is exactly its abstract quality. This difference is similar to the difference between a portrait and a bunch of abstract lines. Sabrina is a very intelligent and brilliant musician. For her business card, I chose to use singe-colour text as well as straight and curved lines only to express the ideas of music and rhythm. Serif fonts were used for their elegance, but I also tried to select the more neat and tough ones. The only colour used was a subtle deep purple favoured by the musician. |
