Eminem

Infinite

Cd cover

Concept

For my concept of this project I really wanted to make a very technical work that reflected the artist’s personality and the band that come with him. The five adjectives I choices for the rapper reflect him in geranial and him as a rap artist and they are

1. Cunning

2. Fast

3. Honest

4. Raw

5. Real

Original ideas

When I first started my project my first thoughts about what to do was to show some kind of infinite thing. My very first thought was the infinite symbol and from there it went to different kinds of infinite diastases. When I picked my image it was because it had a rule of thirds because the focal point was in the top left area. I wanted the lines to be really clean but I felt it was too simple so I decided to put numbers instead of just boring straight lines and to me the numbers show that it goes to infinite lengths.  I wanted the pattern and space of this to feel slick and fine to inhance the other aspects of the cd cover.

For my principles of design I used balance in the cd cover by making it prortional on both sides, I used rhythm when it came to the number and I created emphasis by making the lines all converge.

For my typography I used blackoakStd for my artist name and the title of the album and also used Campbell for the songs.

Technical info

I used illustrator, for the most part I only used the pen tool, copy and paste and the text tool.

Analysis

In the end I find that I did greater than what I thought I would do at first. I thought that I didn’t have enough time and I didn’t have any great ideas till a few days after I started the project. In the end I think that this is my second best work that I’ve done this semester in graphics.
