Catherine Uhlrich on Designing for a Legend: Capturing Prince’s Multifaceted Digital Legacy

Purple was Prince’s color, not just because of his 1984 album, Purple Rain. The colour has become a tribute to Prince’s legacy. The artist got his own official Pantone color in 2017, capturing his unique color he called “Love Symbol #2.” 

One designer who used this color, and much more, was part of creating the Prince.com website. Catherine Uhlrich was essential to capturing Prince’s digital legacy for the Prince Estate. As a digital design luminary and creative strategist with an impressive portfolio boasting collaborations with giants like Nike, H&M, and Google, Uhlrich is no stranger to consistently pushing the boundaries of digital experiences. Her tenure at prestigious agencies such as Instrument, AKQA, and Base Design has solidified her reputation as a versatile and visionary leader. Currently based in New York City, Uhlrich also dedicates her time to nurturing the next generation of design talent as a teacher at Gobelins School, further contributing to the design community as a judge at Awwwards and Gobelins School.

In this exclusive expert analysis, we delve into one of Uhlrich’s most captivating projects: her contribution, while at Base Design NY, to the redesign of Prince.com on behalf of the Prince Estate. Uhlrich offers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and triumphs of capturing the essence of a musical icon in the digital sphere.

Designing for Royalty: The Genesis of Prince.com 

Designing for a world-renowned, award-winning musician like Prince is no small feat. Where do you even begin? Uhlrich explained that the journey started with deep collaboration and extensive research on the Grammy Award-winning musician who changed pop music in the 1980s.

“We did several workshops with their team and gathered a lot of information about him and his fans. Lots of brainstorming sessions,” Uhlrich recalls on the creative process. “By then, the brand team had finalized the identity, and we – the digital team – started working on the web strategy. After establishing our mission and our pillars, we started structuring the content. The design was intentionally kept minimal to let the existing content, the images, and videos, shine.”

This approach highlights a key principle in Uhlrich’s design philosophy: letting the content speak for itself. By creating a clean and unobtrusive framework, the website allows Prince’s artistry to take center stage.

A Fragmented Universe: Reflecting Prince’s Eclecticism

One of the most striking aspects of the redesigned Prince.com is its seemingly fragmented, yet intentionally organized structure. “The website is complex and fragmented, it is chronological but not in the traditional sense. How did you want to organize it?” we asked.

Uhlrich illuminated the strategic thinking behind this unconventional approach: “Yes exactly, we came up with the idea that Prince.com should be a hub that hosts different microsites. Prince was eclectic, and we had to translate and honor his multifaceted life, career, and skills.” This concept allowed the team to capture the diverse facets of Prince’s persona, from his musical genius to his fashion-forward sensibilities.

She further elaborated on the historical context: “He was a pioneer when he released his music online in the 1090s; we had to honor his curiosity for the web as well. It’s a sort of Prince universe if you want. The users can explore in their own way as well, whether you are an existing fan or discovering the Artist for the first time. It is very immersive, but the main navigation is extremely simple and user-friendly.”

This “Prince universe” approach caters to both seasoned fans and newcomers, offering a rich and engaging experience that respects the artist’s innovative spirit. The emphasis on user-friendly navigation ensures that the complex structure remains accessible and intuitive.

“Become”: A Unique Contribution

When asked about her unique contributions to the project, Uhlrich shared her passion for the “Become” microsite.

“I had so much creative freedom. My favorite moment was when I got to imagine the microsite called ‘Become.’ The experience opposes Prince’s early life and the city he grew up in, Minneapolis. I literally created a split screen between his bio and the map of the city.”

This innovative design allows users to explore Prince’s biography in tandem with a map of Minneapolis, highlighting the key locations that shaped his early life. “You can either read the text only in a linear order, or freely explore the map that has key locations that influenced Prince’s life,” Uhlrich explains. “A third way to navigate is to keep both panels open and explore both at the same time. It is a very immersive and fascinating story.”

The “Become” microsite exemplifies Uhlrich’s ability to create engaging and interactive experiences that deepen the user’s understanding of the subject matter. By seamlessly integrating biographical information with geographic context, she provides a unique perspective on Prince’s formative years.

Capturing an “Infinite” Legacy

Prince’s legacy transcends music; he was a cultural icon, a fashion visionary, and a champion for artists’ rights. Capturing this multifaceted legacy in web design was a significant challenge.

“His legacy in terms of music and culture is infinite. He was a fashion icon, a music genius, a performer, and an amazing producer,” Uhlrich said. “He paved the way in terms of music rights, breaking free from his label and releasing music online, etc. Overall, I’d say that the main idea was to start opening the vault and commemorate his legacy, celebrate his fans, and show what a visionary he was. Creating narratives, immersive experiences, and showing how relevant he still is.”

The website serves as a digital archive, a celebration of Prince’s unparalleled creativity and enduring influence. Uhlrich emphasizes that the website is “only the translation of his Creativity.” She adds, “We can all be inspired by Prince, and we tried to be as experimental and creative as approachable as his music was.”

Honoring the Fanbase: Prince2me

Beyond his artistic achievements, Prince’s connection with his fanbase was a crucial aspect of his legacy. Uhlrich and her team recognized the importance of capturing this relationship on Prince.com.

“I’d say that it is his fanbase. People who knew him, who followed his career, who worked with him,” Uhlrich reflects when asked about often overlooked aspects of Prince’s legacy. “We tried to encapsulate this aspect in the microsite called Prince2me. We invited the visitors to leave a message for him. We were inspired by the messages left at Paisley Park when he passed away. It was so moving. We were so grateful for how the site got received; we could really feel how loved Prince was.”

The Prince2me microsite provided a space for fans to express their love and appreciation for the artist, creating a digital memorial that echoed the heartfelt tributes at Paisley Park. This feature underscores the website’s role as a community hub, fostering a sense of connection among Prince’s devoted followers.

A Lasting Impact of Prince’s Music Legacy

Catherine Uhlrich’s work on Prince.com stands as a testament to her skill in translating complex ideas into engaging digital experiences. By embracing the artist’s eclecticism, respecting his innovative spirit, and honoring his connection with his fans, she and her team created a website that truly captures the essence of Prince’s legacy. The project serves as an inspiration to digital designers and a fitting tribute to a musical icon whose influence continues to resonate across the globe.

David Byrne Announces New Album ‘Who Is the Sky?’, Shares New Single ‘Everybody Laughs’

David Byrne is back with news of his next album, Who Is the Sky?. The follow-up to 2018’s American Utopia is set to arrive on September 5 via Matador Records. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the upbeat new single ‘Everybody Laughs’, which is accompanied by a video directed by multimedia artist Gabriel Barcia-Colombo. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album cover, tracklist, and Byrne’s upcoming tour dates.

Produced by Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), Who Is the Sky? features appearances from St. Vincent, Paramore’s Hayley Williams, The Smile drummer Tom Skinner, and American Utopia percussionist Mauro Refosco. The record’s 12 tracks were arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra.

“Someone I know said, ‘David, you use the word ‘everybody’ a lot,'” Byrne said in a press release. “I suppose I do that to give an anthropological view of life in New York as we know it. Everybody lives, dies, laughs, cries, sleeps and stares at the ceiling. Everybody’s wearing everybody else’s shoes, which not everybody does, but I have done. I tried to sing about these things that could be seen as negative in a way balanced by an uplifting feeling from the groove and the melody, especially at the end, when St. Vincent and I are doing a lot of hollering and singing together. Music can do that – hold opposites simultaneously. I realized that when singing with Robyn earlier this year. Her songs are often sad, but the music is joyous.”

“It took me a second to realize, oh yeah, these songs are personal, but with David’s unique perspective on life in general,” Kid Harpoon (aka Tom Hull) added. “Walking around New York listening to the demo of ‘Everybody Laughs’ was so joyous, because it made me feel like we’re all the same – we all laugh, cry and sing. The thing about David that resonates with a lot of people is that he’s in on the joke. He gets the absurdity of it all, and all of these personal observations are his perspective on it.”

Byrne recruited Ghost Train Orchestra after hearing their 2023 tribute album to the blind New York composer and street poet Moondog. “David sent me some demos and asked us to put together some orchestral ideas,” Ghost Train Orchestra leader Brian Carpenter recalled. “Curtis Hasselbring and I quickly wrote a couple rough draft arrangements of his songs for Ghost Train, including ‘My Apartment Is My Friend,’ which was the first song we rehearsed at our tiny rehearsal space in Chinatown. To hear him singing with us for the first time on that song was just incredible.”

“I suspected that intimate orchestral arrangements would bring out the emotion I sense is there in these songs,” Byrne expounded. “It’s something that folks don’t always hear in my work, but this time for sure I thought it was there. At the same time, I also see myself as someone who aspires to be accessible. I imagined that Kid Harpoon would help with that, as well as being a set of trusted ears, since there was a lot going on. People think of producers as people who mainly make a record sound good, and Kid Harpoon did that, but he was also aware of how important the storytelling is.”

Nick León Shares New Songs ‘Crush’ and ‘Millennium Freak’

Nick León has released two new songs, ‘Crush’ and ‘Millennium Freak’ featuring Etsy and mediopicky. The short yet entrancing tracks are lifted from his upcoming album A Tropical Entropy, arriving June 27 via TraTraTax. Take a listen below.

Sly Stone Dead at 82

Sly Stone, the legendary singer-songwriter and funk musician behind Sly and the Family Stone, has died. In a statement, Stone’s family said that he recently passed on “after a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues.” He was 82 years old.

Born Sylvester Stewart in Denton, Texas, Stone grew up in Vallejo, California. He began performing with his siblings at an early age, making his first gospel recording with his brother Freddie and his sisters Rose and Loretta in 1952. He played in several groups on the Bay Area scene and soon became a disc jockey at the R&B station KSOL, later switching to KDIA.

In the late 1960s, Stone formed Sly and the Stoners, which would develop into the iconic Sly and the Family Stone. The band featured Fred Stewart (guitar, vocals), Larry Graham, Jr. (bass, vocals), Greg Errico (drums), Jerry Martini (saxophone), Cynthia Robinson (trumpet), and Rosie Stone (piano), who all had different racial backgrounds, which was virtually unheard of at the time. Landing a deal with Epic, the group released their debut album A Whole New Thing in 1967.

‘Dance to the Music’, the single that became the title track of their next record, peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band followed it up with Life in September 1968, and two months later, they landed their first No. 1 with ‘Everyday People’, which would appear on 1969’s Stand!. In 1969, The Family Stone performed at Woodstock and headlined the Harlem Cultural Festival.

At the peak of the band’s popularity, Sly developed a debilitating drug addiction, and his music grew thematically darker and musically slower. There’s a Riot Goin’ On, Sly and the Family Stone’s intense and masterful fifth album, came out in November 1971. The group’s original lineup released its final album, Small Talk, in 1974, before Sly Stone issued his debut solo album, High on You, the following year.

After the Family Stone was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, Stone made no public appearances for over a decade. In 2006, he gave his first public performance since 1987 as part of a Family Stone tribute at the Grammy Awards.

In 2011, Stone released the album I’m Back! Family and Friends. Earlier this year, Questlove released the illuminating documentary SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius). In 2024, Stone published his memoir Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), and his band’s earliest known concert recording is scheduled to be released next month as  The First Family: Live at the Winchester Cathedral 1967.

In their statement, Stone’s family said:

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.

Sly was a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator, and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk, and rock music. His iconic songs have left an indelible mark on the world, and his influence remains undeniable. In a testament to his enduring creative spirit, Sly recently completed the screenplay for his life story, a project we are eager to share with the world in due course, which follows a memoir published in 2024.

We extend our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers during this difficult time. We wish peace and harmony to all who were touched by Sly’s life and his iconic music.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support.

13 Superb Stills from Gangs of Wasseypur (2012)

0

Gangs of Wasseypur, directed by Anurag Kashyap, the epic 2012 crime saga Gangs of Wasseypur stills, written by Zeishan Quadri and Anurag Kashyap, is a blood-soaked dissection of revenge, family conflict and power struggles in the coal-mining town of Wasseypur, India. Kashyap is celebrated for his unapologetic portrayal of violence, black humor, and well-sketched character arcs with an intricately woven story that travels through decades.

Gangs of Wasseypur, stillsFlashes- Gangs of Wasseypur stillsThe film follows the decades-spanning story of two feuding families, most notably that of Sardar Khan (played by Manoj Bajpayee), a man seeking blood vengeance against Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia), a ruthless and powerful politician who assassinated Khan’s father. This blood feud spans generations, pulling in Khan’s sons, especially Danish (Vineet Kumar Singh) and Faizal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), as circles of violence, revenge and shifting alliances unspool.

This sprawling story is vibrantly brought to life by Rajeev Ravi’s punchy cinematography. Ravi uses harsh light, handheld camera, and covering sets to take the audience deeper and closer into the anarchic and brutal Wasseypur. His images strike a balance between gritty realism and bold aesthetics, connecting the dark humor and emotional power that characterize the movie.

Key stills from Gangs of Wasseypur Not just his characters, even the key stills of Manoj Bajpayee from his most memorable roles still vibrantly exude these aspects: Sardar Khan is caught midway through an expression, with the light playing on his face and the darkness shading it. Another iconic still is of Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Faizal Khan, angry barely simmering beneath his intense gaze surrounded by chaos and anguish. Busy marketplaces and cramped alleyways, authentically rendered, serve as emblems of the film’s claustrophobic tension and relentless violence.

In the end, the stills of Gangs of Wasseypur are as exciting as ever and truly summarize the depth of the ill, the kind of notorious competition on display and the sheer brutal nature of power as well as revenge in this unforgiving world.

18 Amazing Stills from Amores perros (2000)

0

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2000 film Amores perros (roughly translated as “Love’s a Bitch”; screenplay by Guillermo Arriaga) is a rough tale of interlinked lives set in Mexico City. Renowned for his high-octane, emotional storytelling Iñárritu brings themes of love, violence and destiny together in an astonishing work of creativity.

Mixing Odessa is a town that intersects three tales that combine through a car accident. The plot follows Octavio (Gael García Bernal) who attempts to raise money to elope with his brother’s wife after she suffers a serious injury in a car crash that killed her husband. Running alongside this is the story of Valeria (Goya Toledo), a model whose life changes for the worst after the accident, and El Chivo (Emilio Echevarría), a former guerrilla fighter now working as a hitman whose silent quest for redemption plays out in the dark.

The cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto imbues the story with emotional nuance, shooting the city’s grimy underbelly with both a harsh candor and a kinetic vibrancy. Prieto uses handheld cameras and tight framing a lot (throwing audiences into characters’ often mad worlds). It’s also a vibrant but desaturated color palette which heightens the raw human emotion, often violent, that is on display here.

Some key frames from Amores perros do a tremendous job of capturing these contrasts: Gael García Bernal’s Octavio alone, in contemplation in unforgiving, poorly lit environs that mirror his turmoil. But it’s also a sight to see, her isolated, ambitious Valeria in her palatial apartment, in a richly ornate set that, like in all of Durán’s productions, reflects the character’s loneliness and fragility. In the meantime, images of El Chivo wandering the city’s streets symbolize lonely redemption, anchoring the film’s wrenching meditation on human destiny and the ties that bind.

For ultimately, the stills of Amores perros are an encapsulation of its heady mix of desperation, desire and for the fight to connect in a fundamentally broken world.

15 Great Stills from Autumn Sonata (1978)

0

Autumn Sonata, a film directed by Ingmar Bergman is an intensely, quietly focused meditation on familial complications, emotional distance, and the concentrated immediacy central to a good deal of Bergman’s deep cinema. Renowned for his beautifully introspective and unapologetically emotional storytelling, Bergman (no relation) worked here with Ingrid Bergman (ditto), in an impassioned turn as Charlotte, a world-famous concert pianist coming home after years away.

Autumn Sonata is marked by its central relationship between Charlotte and her daughter Eva, played by Liv Ullmann. Eva, who has for years craved her mother’s approval and affection, comes face to face with long-simmering resentments when Charlotte makes a long-overdue visit. As the film proceeds, their exchanges move from an initial cordiality and coziness to raw emotional encounters that peel layers of artifice away to expose deep loneliness, resentment, and love that has never died.

Cinematographer Sven Nykvist enhances these emotional undercurrents with his typical subtlety and deftness of touch. Nykvist uses close-ups often, doing close little studies of faces to heighten the emotional pitch of still moments, to lock in very slight but very expressive glances between players. The muted, warm lighting and autumnal color palettes reinforce the film’s themes of reflection, decay and time passage.

In a series of beautiful frames in Autumn Sonata, we look at Ingrid Bergman outlined by contemplative, reflective light, bringing Charlotte’s loneliness, and her helplessness that belies her ordinary composure, into focus. Another iconic shot is of Ullmann’s Eva mid-dialogue, painting her with eyes screaming an ocean of choked up hurt and longing, contrasted by the earthy-shaded decor around her.

With its chamber-like visuals, Autumn Sonata becomes a haunting meditation on the elusiveness of familial love, the beauty and torment that exist within our family relations.

Here are some beautiful stills from Autumn Sonata.

Medium Build Shares New Single ‘Drug Dealer’

Medium Build has released a new single called ‘Drug Dealer’. It’s searching and resonant, musing on “the universal loneliness that all of us share,” according to singer-songwriter Nick Carpenter. Check it out below.

“I always find myself falling for the strangers in my world,” Carpenter explained. “The helpful flight attendant or the grouchy barista, perfect in the way that they don’t know me, and I don’t know them. As I aged out of youthful social circles and the loneliness in my life became more obvious, the desire to fill that void with the adoration or acceptance of a stranger became stronger. I’ve spent my whole life looking for someone who could save me. But really, we all know ain’t nobody gonna fill that void but ourselves. I hope this tune promotes self-love. I’m definitely working on loving myself right now.”

Carpenter added: “I guess my sexuality always seemed like something I had to prove before I could properly identify as a member of a community. As I’ve aged and explored, I’ve learned that experience, while an excellent teacher, is not the qualifier for membership. You are breathing and shitting and crying like all of us are until you’re not. Take pride in the things that make you different, but rest in the cradle that is your shared place, the human place. Have sex with your drug dealer, or don’t. Have kids or don’t. We’re all in this together! And unfortunately, we have more in common with our opps than we have differences.”

The new single follows Medium Build’s recent takeaways EP. Last year, he collaborated with boygenius’ Julien Baker on ‘Yoke’.
