With the album 2014 Forest Hill Drive being titled after the North Carolina address where J. Cole grew up along with featuring songs that capture his journey from boy to man, I felt it would be great to create a poster design that featured a nostalgic theme. Inspired by this photo from the 2014 Forest Hill Drive photoshoot, I took upon the theme of capturing an old school arcade style. With the use of arcade fonts, vibrant colors, and pixelized elements, I was able to create the poster design you all are viewing now that I feel showcases my distinct style. The pixelized clouds are a nod to J. Cole's independent record label Dreamville which is founded and owned by him. Truly glad to have been aware of this contest, find it inspiring for Adobe and Dreamville to team up and offer us young students opportunities such as this! Graphic design is a true passion of mine, and with my love for music and art, music marketing design is the perfect outlet for me. Hope you all like the design, and best of luck to everyone else on their submissions! #madethis
