What!?! No Nothin' On You!?

thanks man, I wasn't the biggest fan of J. Cole before but after assembling that tape he's risen quite rapidly in my books. I loveee when he goes on some of my oldd favorite kanye beats too.

I downloaded the J.Cole mixtape and liked it a lot, nice song placement.

As for this one, I'm really liking the design. It feels a little Drake-ish the way it's done but it's well made. Do you do this professionally?

Thanks for the kind words! I don't really do this professionally, more so a hobby, check out some of my other work here:

Nice work. I really dig the Wiz Khalifa mixtape cover. A simple yet very fresh design. I also snatched your Biggie wallpaper to use it on my laptop, if that's ok with you, it's really dope.

Anyway you got skills, keep at it!

No worries, I love when people use my wallpapers and what not.. pretty cool to see my mixtapes/covers all over the internet now too.. I think my drake mixtape had 1600 seeders after 1 week as a torrent hahah (which I didn't even upload), and the mixtapes have combined for about 80,000 listens which is pretty impressive lolll

You are getting paid for these? This is the 2nd album that you did that text effect in the back of the cd. I was curious about the rest of your work but now I'm not so sure. I'm sure clients want stuff done that isn't something you've done for someone else already.

Only one I've been paid for was the 'Deena Jonez' one.. lol, and I guess you could say that one was different than the rest of the covers (text is still all misshapen, but **** it!). I'm currently working on another paid project though haha.

You need to vary your work, it's too much of the same. I don't want to discourage you or come off as negative, I want to help so you can get better. Research as much as you can, never stop learning new techniques and try some new stuff out. You tend to stick to the same kind of stuff you know and it shows with most of the stuff.

The execution of the work is good.

Unfortunately, you're right.. I seems like I've sort of found a niche and stuck with it. (might have something to do with the fact I've stopped experimenting with PS since starting school again), thanks for the advice though!

You should be getting to know Illustrator a little more, the more you understand that, the more doors it opens for new styles you can pick up and create more patterns, etc...on your own. Just go on sites and check out other flyers, inspire yourself.
