Some old sleeve design work





Draft artwork for another PWR sub-label compilation concept - to produce a series of themed albums specialising in releasing collections of the original sampled music used in classic hip-hop albums such as this, based on De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising.

More concept artwork for PWR, for a compilation of original sampled records more aimed at a commercial market, concentrating on tracks that have had chart success.






Concept artwork for a compilation for PWR. It contained block party classics from the early days of hip hop, typically what Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc and Afrika Bambataa's would have played in the Bronx during the '70's.







This sleeve was designed for an E.P. for the final major project on the National Diploma in Music Tech I studied. The sound and style of the songs were quite timeless, originally acoustic sessions with a gospel feel to the production on the remix. With that in mind I wanted the E.P. to look like an old collectable 7" single, took a copy of War by Edwin Starr and got to work in photoshop.
