OUGD503: Visual Research: NAS

Working on a competition brief at the moment to design a poster for the hip-hop artist Nas, for his New Years eve performance in New York city at the Radio City Hall venue.

The concept of the poster and the overall message of the performance is for it to be a celebration of Nas, from his debut in the early 90s to now, being a consistent and legendary hip-hop artist, to this day.

In order to gain a better understanding of what visuals to reference I've collated a few examples from his early days to now


I want to reference the visuals of his iconic album covers and add my own twist and style to it.











You can see the heavy use of a face portrait and some sort of horizon or skyline about half way down the framing of the photo.
