RESEARCH
Images from the GNX photoshoots were gathered to gain a deeper understand of the vibe and concept behind the album. Only then could I begin to redesign the album while maintaining the same feel as the original, a pure celebration of the one of a kind swag of LA and Compton. I also traveled to Feel It Record Shop in Ludlow, Cincinnati to be inspired by other vinyls/albums.

The final redesigns carry the original meaning of GNX, a love letter to LA, by still incorporating LA staples such as dodger blue, a classic Compton-style outfit, as well as that recognizable LA swag. However, they also bring an additional new, fresh, stylish, and modern feel to the album, enhancing it in a way.
