For this project, I designed the rollout for an album, media campaign, and overall art direction for a rap duo called Cutlass Crew. The campaign featured bold, over-the-top pink branding and incorporated various creative elements. I explored photography in depth, including directing poses, designing outfits for the shoots, and arranging studio lighting setups. This hands-on experience was a refreshing departure from my usual desk work, which typically involves staring at a screen. Working on Cutlass challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and inspired me to experiment with new creative mediums.
