It's Like That, y'all. I designed this 180 page hardcover anthology of Hip Hop writings in honour of the music and culture I grew up admiring. The book was sectioned into different aspects of hip hop life and culture, starting with its history and moving through its various effects on popular culture (women in hip hop, violence in hip hop, art and hip hop, etc).
The binding method is called Ethiopian Coptic, and it is done in single page signatures, adding to the weight of the book on one side. This allows it to lay flat on every single page; the book is meant to be read in sittings, and not carried around.

The goal of this project was to produce a minute-and-a-half long public awareness video focusing on environmental sustainability, with each submission placed on a Youtube.com channel for public consumption. This rap music video was a collaborative work created to draw attention to the problem of “vampire energy”. That is, appliances and electronics that consume energy, simply by staying plugged in.
