While listening to a Michael Jackson song on the radio during our drive back from Buffalo, F and I were telling E about MTV and its impact in our teenage lives during the 80's. Music videos became a new medium, a new vessel, a new voice to our generation.
What instantly comes to mind is Aha's Take On Me, from their 1985 debut album "Hunting High And Low". To this day, I still find it very evocative. This music video was ground-breaking in those days it was so rich in its visual content, that it immediately engaged its audience. It most definitely influenced my decision, two years later, to become a graphic designer.
