Music artist research - Drake

Drake is a recently new artist that has entered the rap scene, and already he has grown to become known and gaining appeal before having to release an album. His mixtape which was released "so far gone" has a very unique style in it's artwork, the same was done for one of his single releases, whether it was a remix, unreleased from the artist or not, the same style has been used so it is beneficial in getting an idea of the style used.



As you can see, Drake is bringing back the idea is silhouettes, with black and white colours, then using a bright colour for someting within the artwork for importance. This works well as it is simple, cartoony and well designed. This style won't be too hard to create, considering you have the images to make it. The text will be used from either finding a nice font and laying it out yourself, or simply just drawing it. You can be very creative with this style, and that's why it works so well, because its something that you don't see often on CD covers, and yet it is so effective.
