When you commission me for a project I start with sketches and then it goes from there. Because without sketching you will not be able to flush out the ideas. Then I’ll be able to come up with a better direction of where we can go with the project.
Coming up with a Vinyl cover design, Record label logo and a Tour poster design. The overall approach for these came from sketching and a lot of trial and error. The overall vision was being able to maintain legibility, and taking a step back to see how it’d look in real life use.
The artists that inspired this project are Madlib, Larry June and Westside Gunn. Each of them have their own style and the creativity they show us. Because I am inspired by that and for sure align with the vision each of them have. I did my best to embody their spirit of creativity with the overall project.
What I learned from the project is not feeling the need to overdo it. As well as keeping the vision in line with how I felt the design would look finalized. Because its so easy to keep going and going. I liked how the completed pieces look and feel cohesive. As well they solve the problem as they are intended to do so.
