From Applied Arts
It’s a question we’ve all been asked before “what is your desert island song?” From cocktail party chatter to the countless Spotify playlists teaming the web and the BBC’s Desert Island Discs radio program – the question has been discussed relentlessly. Now, thanks to Burnaby-based Mitchell Press, the question has taken a more visually-pleasing turn.
The latest project from Mitchell’s ‘Design Teams’ series is a collaboration between 12 artists, writers and musicians who illustrated their one desert island song. Each illustration is accompanied by a written rationale and is presented together in a book titled ‘A Mixtape for a Desert Island’
