The Art of Marketing Hip-Hop Event "2"

Fine & Performance Art Center "The City of Bowie Arts Committee" (2:30 P.M)


      A few days ago, my intro to computer graphics class finished at 1:40 P.M. After class, for the first time, I visited the city of Bowie arts committee. I was pleasantly surprised to find the inside so beautiful. While I was walking around, I realized that the city of Bowie arts committee reminded me of a little art museum. One picture that caught my eye was the Eminem " Recovery" album cover. The reason why is because in class, we looked at pictures and discussed the meaning behind each picture.  In the Eminem " Recovery" album cover, I noticed a man walking alone in the middle of the street. There are no other cars or pedestrians. If you look further, the street that he is walking is cloudy and froggy. As the audience/fans, we see a blurry road at the end. The artist does a great technique to blur down the path the man is walking on because it is a person trying to recover. However, he is walking this path alone and is not easy. Lastly, these pictures tie into visual communication and exhibit design. The artist does a great job of communicating the image. This exhibit was a publicly displayed work of art within a gallery that's purpose was to evoke an emotional response from the audience. Because all art is subjective, it is fascinating just to think of all the different interpretations that one could get from this one image. After taking pictures of the Eminem " Recovery" album cover, there are more pictures I was able to take. You can see down below.

  Donell Pettus VDCM 230 (Intro To Comp Graphics) October 13th, 2023 Direct Effect Innovation "7"  The Washington Hilton- 1919 Connecticut Ave NW Washington, DC (10:00 AM)        On October 13, 2023, the Direct Effect Innovation hosted an event at the Washington Hilton on 1919 Connecticut Ave. This was a competition between schools around the world competing to make a pitch to the marketing judges for their brand. They had a book for all the students that participated.  This book was colorful. It seems like the book was covered with shining stars. I was very amazed how the front cover was different than the back cover. Both covers had greats designs on them.  The design team did a great job bolding the name of the book and making the fonts the main focal point. I want to say thank you to Direct Effect Innovation for inviting me again. It was a nice experience.
