    This is meant as a poster showing how musical harmony (chord changes) can be added on top of sheet music. There's a glyph for each chord change in the song, and each 'chord symbol' uses rounded squares or pointy triangles along with one of twelve different basic colors to show what chord it is and what function it serves musically.

    Brutal Feedback welcome 😂

    I just finished this piece. I have progress pics for the WIP thread when it gets okayed.

    I've played in Inkscape a little bit before, but this was my first larger piece. I am proficient in Figma and Affinity Designer. Created this in 2 hours.

    Welcoming brutal feedback!

    It seems like my first entry had something wrong with colors, so here is the same entry again.

    I tried to reproduce the color gradients from the morning sky, which I managed to capture a few months ago.
