Album Cover for BOTM

Project: Album Cover
Client: Best of the Midwest Compilation
Location: Hollywood, CA
Tools: Flash, Photoshop
Backstory: I can not, for the life of me, remember the name of the company that hired me for this gig. I found this guy named Jay on Craigslist, and he runs a music artist (mainly rappers) marketing, distribution, and promotion company out of the hollywood area of Los Angeles. I just tried google and yelp searching for his business for nearly 45 minutes and came up empty handed. I know he advertises in XXL Magazine and some other Vibe style hip hop magazines, and his logo is a black fist with lightning behind it. Yikes! I can’t believe it escapes me.

Album Cover for DJ

Project: Album Cover, Logo Design
Client: DJ Mister Fister
Location: Hollywood, CA
Tools: Flash, Photoshop
Backstory: DJ Mister Fister has been collecting electronic dance music records and playing them out since he was 16. We experimented with some fresh logo concepts and color palettes. We liked the idea of using fists as a texture. We tried it out as a background and eventually progressed and upgraded it to a texture featured on a custom type face. Then we brought in the incredible satellite dish graphic and generating a very lovely and balanced composition. We added some grass and a background of a parchment and stone blended texture. The second release by the artist was a mix called “Saul Goodman’s Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese mix.” So we photoshopped a headshot of Saul Goodman himself as well as a stock image of a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich to create this fun cover design.
