JUSSRAY ARTWORK SUMMARY: MIXTAPES
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 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…
Client Case File 37: Malcolm Mays – Dyonysis
I guess things are kinda catching on with the mixtapes. I was commissioned by oldskool hip-hop artist AMG to do digital covers for Malcom Mays.
Doing some research I found out Dionysus was the greek god of wine and partying. So I decide to add that theme as I did the various design progressions.
First Version
Alternatives
Final Version
Client Case File 36: MVP Boys Mixtape
Here is another new installation from Front Room Entertainment Enterprise’s DJ Shanx and Music Flame’s Chris Jenkins. I was commissioned to do mixtape for the MVP Boys…
On this one they kinda wanted to go with a look similar to Frank Miller’s Sincity with highlights and shadows.
Here is the first version…
The final version…

Client Case File 34: Rick Hughes Mixtape
Another design with Hittmenn West DJ, DJ Shanx.
Was commissioned again by DJ Shanx to do design for producer Rick Hughes. He told me to use the color blue and do my thing so I came up with this. Nailed it on the first round.
The art style was influenced by Angeleno artist El Mac and Retna

Client Case File 028: DJ SHANX – Sounds for Champions Mixtape
This was a personal project for DJ Shanx…One of many to come…good dude to work with by far…he was really wanting to do his own mixtape…He commissioned me to do this one…basically he said he wanted trophies and yellow and gold to commemorate the big win for the Lakers…
Client Case File 025: T-MAZZ – SCRATCHPAPER ALBUM DIGITAL RELEASE
Wowsers…I gotta thank DJ Shanx for this one…He hit me up about bay area artist T-Mazz and the his digital release of the Scratchpaper album…In order to promote the album DJ Shanx was given the charge to do “The Legend” Mixtape…So I was commissioned by Shanx to do this one…
So…As with most mixtapes..we start with photos…for sake of the blog and not wanting to get too wordy…I am only going to talk about the photo of T-mazz…I had to do some cropping of this photo…and clean up…
Then find other photos and cropping techniques (Thanks Dylan Cole) and then make a nice composition based on tradition methods, specifically perspective and typography and BADDA BOOM BADDA BING….
