Lushlife – Cassette City (behind the art)

My friend Raj, better known as Lushlife, just released an amazing record called Cassette City. It’s smart hip-hop with a tangible feel. You can listen and buy it here, here, or here.

But no review. I’m posting because I did the art for this record. I’m proud of the final result, but it was a pretty typical design process. While looking through all the files and iterations I thought that people might not realize just how much time goes into making album art. So I made this collage.

The first three rows are the final art. The rest are early versions, sketches, and revisions.
