With a focus on cultural brands and music, the studio's way with typography is both beautiful and innovative, sitting within a design approach that's brave and holistic. When I started to get more and more work like that, one day after five years working there, I just realised I didn't need to work at the school anymore. One sort of gesture and applying it to everything, it's more about the aesthetics of the photography, sort of the visual language of photography, that the tone of the photography to the tone of the videos, all kind of So, as they had, they had a similar meaning a similar feeling. I think a typeface can have as much importance as an image regarding how it feels and its aesthetic, and how it makes people feel. I think having some sort of relationship to it somehow, whether it's liking the person or liking it for the references and its importance in culture.

So my first real professional job was working at an architecture school in Los Angeles as the in-house art director and designer. Without music, at least in my practice and experience, there would be no design: it's what shapes the way I think about design, how I look at design, and even the first pieces of design I ever made were always for bands or music.

But when his roommate Jasper invites him to spend the end of summer at his massive beachfront home, August House, Linden tries his best to fit in. Before that, the label would commission music videos from one person; there may be one company that just does the merch, maybe one designer that does the album cover, someone who makes some billboards and some ads. With music stuff, I think you have to deal with a lot more people from the label people from management. And so, at the end of the day, it feels like it's not under the same roof, and it can be a bit messy.I think what started to happen for a while was people were like, "Oh, just make it a photo," as it was being designed for that one format. Now, labels, especially artists, are willing to have that one point person, that one creative, that tells the story and is in charge of the visual language and world-building. Instead, they're often born of designers that honed their craft, making flyers, designing posters and records for their friends (or themselves), and LA-based studio Perron–Roettinger is no exception. Yeah, it was juggling two worlds: it would be cultural work at the Institute day-to-day, and then when I went home, I would like work on sort of books for galleries with artists or albums with bands.

You couldn't play with scale as much because if you had something small for an LP, once it got to one inch, you would just never see it.

It's no secret that some of the most exciting, boundary-pushing and considered design work is the product of beginnings that are a far cry from the clean white Post-it note-strewn walls of design studios. Once I went to school, the design programme was shaped around type design, and still, to this day, I always think about the type first rather than the image of a particular aesthetic.

Every day, something had to either be designed or go to print or there was a new project in the works. And this is something that we always strive for and champion – having one brain in charge of the album, packaging, merch – one brain to tell the whole story. Michael Linden – or just Linden to his preppy boarding school pals – doesn’t belong in wealthy, storied Martha’s Vineyard.There’s nothing Holiday loves more than a good old-fashioned mystery, and she’s convinced someone tried to kill Greg. Over the last eight years or so, something that's slowly come into the discussion is the idea of bands having one creative that oversees everything across the board.
