JUSSRAY ARTWORK SUMMARY: MIXTAPES
Client Case File 52: Ill Camille Bay Area Campaign
Front Room Entertainment’s DJ Shanx hit me up with another project along with The Tree Post Collective (http://www.thetreepostcollective.com/) . These are graphics for a Bay Area campaign for Front Room new artist Ill Camille.
Maybe you wanna know why I chose purple or maybe not. Dunno. I was just feeling this color at the time and I just saw a Mac Dre documentary the night before.
Client Case File 50: World on Wheels Flyers
(RING. RING.) Got a call one evening from the Director of Promotions at World on Wheels saying his designer dropped the ball on some design work they needed for a promotion. So I steeped in and worked with him to get it finished on time. Glad he liked the end result. I did too. I have to admit I kinda struggled with design at first then I got right back into the zone and finished.
Client Case File 49: Conyak (Mixtape)
Front Room Entertainment hit me up to do a small gig for local artist in LA. Just did some clean up of the photo and boosted details and gave it a clean title treatment.
Client Case File 47: Funny Snacks and Candies (Derrick Ellis)
More product from underground comedian Derrick Ellis. I was commissioned
to do logos for his snacks and and candy brands.
Event Flicks 004: DJ Sexy Beast
This DJ had a solid set on this night. I happen to catch him when he was having moments…
Event Flicks 003: Big Moves
I got to shoot a series of live performances at the Viceroy in Hollywood. This is one of many. I think my camera had an attitude problem during some of the shows. Here is one of the few I got some sweet shots from. I really dig the blue guitar. My brother actually has one also too bad he cant play as well..lol…
Here Are Their Site Links….
Client Case File 42: IllCamille Flyers
Two flyers promoting two of Ill Camille’s shows in Los Angeles at The Airliner and The Key Club. I thought I would include QR Code linking to her Reverb Nation page to get the most out of the flyer.
CD COVER DESIGNS
CHINA RECORDS:::STORY
I created both of these pieces for a client that had a Chinese catalog of music. The Nature High cover (LEFT) I created using a 3d program called Carrara and of course Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. I had create layers of type then extrude in Carrara and use some bevels to give it a nice plastic look.
On the Shanghai Restoration Project I didn’t have a lot to work with. I just had the title of the album and a few jpegs of the artist. So after hearing the album. I decided to go with using the city of Shanghai with a few distortions and using a neutral color and some circular designs to make it look cool. And here is the final product.
By the way, I would like to mention that both of these albums as well as the next two are available on itunes, and amazon.com and I am sure on other mp3 distribution channels.
PROGRAMS USED: Carrara, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Client Case File 39: Ill Camille Flyer
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…
