Rap CD graphic designer cd wallet design stimulus package

I designed this cd wallet art for a hip hop artist named Scoot- he was looking for a graphic designer that could help him develop an image of himself as a pseudo presidential rapper/politician. His album release comes on the heels of the economic stimulus package that congress passed, and he was playing off of that- as in his album being a stimulus package for the hip hop industry. Needless to say- I gave him the presidential treatment.
I composed the cover design by combining a collection of photo's including the state capital, crowd, clouds, lights, and textures. These were all seprate elements that I combined to create this scenery. I adjusted the colors to give it all a cohesive look and overlaid a few textures and photoshop effects to bring it all together. I also created the presidential logo for the artist which is underneath the disc and is exposed when the disc is removed. He was very happy with the final design.

CD Cover Illustration: CD Design Cover Art- Star Wars

CD cover illustration design for a hip hop rap artist based in New York. This cd cover illustrates a character representing the rap artist' persona. A custom cd cover illustration takes considerably longer than a cd design based on the musicians photographs because it requires composeing the cd package design entirely from scratch. I completed the illustration for this star wars/hip hop cd cover. I used adobe illustrator for the color and line work, and added some texture in photoshop. The client was very happy with it. I've never really illustrated anything in this particular style- but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. It's another notch in my arsenal of styles. Notice the Darth Vador silhouette in the background.

Once upon a time... in a Galaxy far far away, there was an illustrator who dared to combine the forces of Star Wars and Hip hop. This is a fun illustration I've been working on. Below is a preliminary pencil sketch for an album cover playing off the theme of Lucas' Celestial Opera- as you can see he's reaching for his mic which is his "light saber", getting ready to slash somebody creeping up behind him- he's also sporting a jedi cape and in the background a little green dude (Yoda) is rocking the turntables. I'll be posting the updated artwork soon- stay tuned.

Hip Hop CD cover design- Rap cd design- Bmac cover art

Hip Hop in the Hizzy my Nizzy. This rapper went from zero to hero with the Nando-matic Insta-Design 3000. This is an album cover for a southern hip hop artist. The client wasn't sure which picture he wanted for the cover so I composed two different versions. You can see the original photo's I was supplied with and then I enhanced them through the magic of photoshop. You can click the cover designs to enlarge the view.
