The 3RD


I've been so effing busy lately.

In between work and class(which ended today) i've also been fitting in side projects for myself/commishioned from other people. This is the most recent of those that is completed. It's the flyer for The 3RD's listening party for their new album, "1979." It'll be at Sole Classics in Columbus and i encourage anyone who's into real hip-hop music to go-they're good people too. I suppose this is a proper arena to talk about that album. I was given an advance copy of it a while back(as it is not yet released) and it's really great and i'm pretty excited to be doing the entire album's artwork-including designing the CD packaging AND-my favorite-a double LP jacket! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the biggest, best format to design a record in, it's two records and two sleeves-one per record. It's a big canvas but i'm pretty ready to fill it...Just as soon as i get all the info for the album. Nonetheless-the album is great and it's even better to be a part of something i believe in, not just being assigned to a design for some shitty local rapper or whatever. They're good and they deserve respect.

Check out their MySpace to get a taste of what I'm talking about:
The 3RD

Shout out to Dion for being a dope, non-asshole manager of The 3RD.
