This project was developed and completed in April 2020 as part of the Professional Practices in Design module for a course in Digital Media Design BA.
The Brief: To create a brief of my own choosing. The idea for this was to take on the role of both the client and the designer. The requirement for this brief was to be a real world example with real constraints and to find relavant materials that were essential to the brief.
The Response: I always wanted to design an album cover for a mogul music artist. As a result, the brief I came up with was to design the standard and deluxe covers for Nicki Minaj's fifth studio album. The graphic design styles I used were Art Deco combined with Cyberpunk and a hint of Swiss Typography. I wanted the design to have both a retro and futuristic feel while using styles of design that aren't normally associated with rap albums (Art Deco and Swiss Typography) to create an avant-garde feel for an avant-garde artist such as Minaj.
