 Lil Wayne THA CARTER V Album Cover "9"

Fine and Performance Arts Center (12:00 P.M)


    On September 28, 2018, Lil Wayne released his twelfth studio album. The album's release date commenced the day following Lil Wayne's 37th birthday. Dwayne Carter, as known as "Lil Wayne", talks about his mom, ex-wife, children, and suicidal thoughts. This album cover was created in photoshop. The artist did a great blurring of the background. Also, the contrast matches each other. I was amazed how he blended that with the original picture. When most people look at this album cover, they do not see that Lil Wayne as a baby has tattoos on his face. Those tattoos are really his but on his "adult" face. The artist did a great job grabbing an older Lil Wayne face and tracing it with a pen. Then, selecting the younger Lil Wayne face and putting it on there. I would rate this album cover a 10/10.

  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.
