Mark Leary is a freelance designer based in Leeds, incorporating different styles of design and covering a wide range of skills and areas surrounding design for the music industry.

ABOUT


ASYLUMseventy7 is artist, illustrator, designer, photographer, guitarist, music freak, kung fu master and 6'5 midget-gem fuelled, bizarre concoction of cheerful pessimism, Mark Leary.
With a sublimely distinctive style, Mark explores every project with enthusiasm and maturity. He hates shallow work! Influenced by the weird and wonderful - be it music, art, fashion or people - he enjoys taking projects left-field and loves nothing more than working with people who have the same passion for exploring the new and experimenting with the norm, to create something that shows the best of his abilities and their desires.
A skilled artist with a BA(hons) in Illustration, Mark had been working with clothing, print and merchandise companies for a number of years when, in 2005, his work was showcased at theNew Designers exhibition in London - an event which catapulted him into the spotlight and led to the formation of ASYLUMseventy7 in 2006 as a base for all his creative work.  




This is a blog, a new website is coming, which I have had the privilege of seeing (brilliant design). 
They are a design company for a record label called Lab... for which they design all aspects of promotional material for the bands on the label (music videos, t-shirt designs, promotional material). 
They are based in Manchester but the work spreads across the country. 





This is another blog which I have been advised to look into. The design is brilliant and the client list is impressive. 

ABOUT 


‘Godmachine Lives in South Wales, Uk with his wife, two cats and his beard. Inspired in his youth by
skatebording and comics and being self taught, Godmachine has managed to carve a space for himself
and make a huge impact on the merch world...and soon everywhere else..’


Featured in Creative Arts Magazine as one of the Uk’s most inspiring emerging artists.

"Godmachine continues to be a powerful force in the merch design scene. Intense illustrations
like no other!" Jeff Finley, GoMedia.us

“the most inspiring artist I know, he is the one with the ideas that people copy” Jon Richards

“a pleasure to work with and always delivers 110% on work” Disturbia

from now." Josh Belanger.

I know this design company is not specifically one for just the music industry but it is a strong area that they work with frequently. 


ABOUT 

We are intensely passionate about art and design’s ability to enrich the lives of our clients and their customers.
In 2001, the founders of Go Media Inc. made the commitment to break from the constraints of traditional design services and give the marketplace a next-generation creative agency. The belief was that the digital age was providing us tools to develop captivating pieces of art for any medium. Art that could be turned into marketing solutions for any organization, large or small. We believed that new technology could be used to enhance graphic design and reduce costs and time to market. This vision has only become clearer over the years as we continue to push the envelope and exceed our client’s expectations.
Go Media has built a creative team with a passion for originality and a keen ability to apply their imagination to meet the needs of our clients. Though sometimes painful, we enjoy riding the bleeding edge of technology and exploring how new tools can benefit that “next” project. Reaching the modern consumer, with its short attention span, requires a creative agency who not only recognizes innovation, but knows how to leverage those trends and make them stand out amongst the ordinary.
We are constantly looking forward, on our client’s behalf, to deliver scalable solutions that can quickly adapt to the changing landscape of your market. With the firm belief that your success is absolutely critical to our own, we are planning for the results you need right at the onset of each project engagement. We want all of our clients, regardless of size, to consider us as long-term partners with their best interest at heart. We welcome new clients with open arms and enjoy learning about what drives them and where they want to GO.

Design for the music industry seems to be a widespread business.
