Argh, I did these pics a while back. Got busy with work. I am practicing doing event flicks. This was a pretty cool venue. Books and cool stuff all around. I want to thank Shake The Hand (follow them on twitter @ShakeTheHand) peeps for letting me shoot this one. I am going to try to do more in future. (Venue – Hemingways–> http://www.hemingwayslounge.com/)

CD COVER DESIGNS 2
Posted: June 7, 2011 in graphic design, marketing, music production, Old Work, visual designTags: Amazon, cd artwork, cd cover design, Itunes, zen lounge
CLIENT:::STORY
These two covers are also available on Itunes and Amazon.com. Hash – Latinz Finest cover was created with again few photos of the artist only so I did what I could with what I had. I think this a reoccurring thing in my artwork. I get very little elements and make the most of them.
ZEN LOUNGE(RIGHT) I hand drew in Corel Painter and did the title in Adobe Illustrator and composited all the elements in Adobe Photoshop. The image I reference was a old water color and calligraphy painted scroll that one of the executives had purchased from china.
PROGRAMS USED: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter

Was commissioned again by DJ Shanx to do the invitation flyer for Ill Camille’s Release Party in LA. Overall, I went with Helvetica Neue as a font and created little embellishments (musical notes, etc.)
On the first draft he wanted to do a basic black and white design with no graphics.
Then on the second version we added the album cover art and sponsor logos.
Here are some of her videos. Great female mc….I really hope she does well…

As result of me hanging out and enjoying my passion for music and networking…DJ Shanx reached out to me (Thank You Homeboy) and blessed me with the opportunity to design the mixtape cover for the upcoming mixtape West Coast Wonders sponsored by Arize Magazine…He basically told me “Go Left Field With It…” so I pumped everything I could into the design. Keeping West Coast in mind…I haven’t forgot the bay…I just kept in mind what people know of the west coast when they think about it….as my mentor Will93 (Update you nickname man!) says…”The west coast includes SanDiego, LA, SF Bay, Seattle, and Portland…None the less…Shanx was happy…Let me know what yall think…
