wicked guys. i'm not an advocate of blanketting the genre by any means....
however, sometimes it's helpful...when you don't know dj names in a new city, and you're cruising flyers, to come across familiar images. If it were all decked out with rainbows and third-eyes and fractals or something, chances are i wouldn't pick it up....
but then, none of that stuff speaks to this kind of music anyway, so the chances of that are slim.
as you guys have pointed out, the imagery sort of rolls in by itself...and it seems there are so many different things happening within dubstep that there's tons of room for inventiveness...
blah blah.

the project is coming along well, btw. Title's Speaker Freaker (not my own invention) and i'm seeing black and white and graphs and charts and bats and static....

I hope dubstep never gains a certain look or fashion.

What I love about it is the anti-genre attitude. Everything falls under the umbrella of dubstep, and each person brings their own influence into it. From the producers, to the party goers - everyone can find something they like and everyone can inject their own personality into it

Im a vj myself, and Ive never done visuals for a dubstep show. I feel like people should use their own imagination and let the music inspire you - create your own mental images. Once you put that on a screen, you are telling people what to think - it takes away part of the fun.

As far as design goes, we've done a lot of distressed textures and distressed type - urban landscape themes, or rusted metals - sometimes its a throwback to the industrial, nine inch nails, gunge design style... inject some color and clean type over it - thats been more the theme for the SMOG flyers, not trying to create a look for the music itself.

Id also say a walrus with a bucket cant ever go wrong

this is an interesting topic for me because im a graphic designer by trade.
i think that imagery with a certain style and subject matter is really important for building a scenes identity. which is overall a good thing as long as innovation and novelty are valued above conformity.
