CQN
The client was a hip-hop artist called CQN, who was releasing his latest album titled Inner Demons. The album featured 10 songs that explored his personal struggles, emotions, and experiences. It was released on CD, vinyl, and digital platforms. The artist wanted the illustrations to reflect the mood and theme of the album, which is about confronting and overcoming one’s inner demons. He was looking for something that is original and artistic, but also easy to read and recognize. The target audience was mainly young adults (18-35) who are fans of hip-hop music and enjoy a deep and meaningful style. The album and the poster will be marketed through social media, online platforms, and music stores.
Task
The project involves creating a cover illustration for the album and a poster illustration for the promotion. The illustrations should be minimalist, elegant, and mysterious, with a dark blue color scheme.
I love working with artists. I began my design career designing covers for hip-hop albums and kept doing it on the side. If you contact me I’ll tell you about that time I was on a hip-hop band, ages ago…
