 How music shapes your design mindset


Few of the music are just beautiful, poetic, nostalgic...just make you lost in deep thinking or giving you the main character energy. Simply, it just touch your soul. And recently 'End of beginning' happen to be one of them. Many didn't even know who's the singer or lyricist but it's just beautiful and well, umm...I'm one of them. I didn't know it's DJO and even more I didn't know he acted in 'Stranger things'. 




And lately, I’ve also been noticing how deeply music and design mirror each other. Different mediums but same intention like shape emotion, guide attention, and create connection.


Here’s what I’ve learned:

Rhythm matters

Just like a song uses tempo and pauses, good design uses spacing and flow. If the rhythm feels off, the whole experience feels off.

Structure creates ease

Music has verses and bridges. Design has grids and hierarchy. When the structure is right, everything feels effortless... even if it took hours behind the scenes.

Emotion is the real deliverable

A melody can calm you, energize you, or break you. Design can do the same through color, contrast, and movement. People don’t remember the details, they remember how it made them feel.

Editing is an art

Great songs remove noise. Great design removes clutter. Simplicity isn’t lack of effort; it’s the result of intention.

In the end, music is emotional UX for your ears, and design is emotional music for your eyes.

Both remind me that creativity isn’t about tools... it’s about harmony, timing, and telling a story that stays with people.

Thank you for stopping by. :)
