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 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.
Client Case File 46: Funny Water (Derrick Ellis)
Comedian Derrick Ellis commissioned me to do a one-page flyer for his brand of drinking water.
1) Here I just have the label
2) Then I found a hi-res plastic bottle to place the label on
3) I composited the two.
4) Finally, Here is the flyer.
Client Case File 44: Way Back Wednesdays Flyer
Local eatery is doing a tribute night to old school Hip Hop. So, I designed accordingly. The yellow flyer is kinda going all out and the bluish purple is more subtle with logos from famous brands back then including, that’s right, the ROO’s logo. 
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 2
CLIENT:::STORY
These two covers are also available on Itunes and Amazon.com. Hash – Latinz Finest cover was created with again few photos of the artist only so I did what I could with what I had. I think this a reoccurring thing in my artwork. I get very little elements and make the most of them.
ZEN LOUNGE(RIGHT) I hand drew in Corel Painter and did the title in Adobe Illustrator and composited all the elements in Adobe Photoshop. The image I reference was a old water color and calligraphy painted scroll that one of the executives had purchased from china.
PROGRAMS USED: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter

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.
