DJ Royale
An identity for Toronto based 'Youngest Rookie in Charge', DJ Royale.
DJ Royale was in need of an identity and asked Committee Design to develop the look.
We opted for a really clean, yet strong script to make it all happen.

Crash The Party Series
After designing Royale's identity, we were also brought on board to handle the art direction for his highly regarded mixtape series, 'Crash The Party'.
While we knew we would eventually want each cover to have a distinct colorway as the series progressed, it wasn't until after the first release that the covers started taking on themes.
- A Michael Jordan sneaker colorway graced Pt. 2
- A reference to our Black Rap family's 'Must Stay Paid' t-shirts on Pt. 3
- Regal colors on Young & Arrogant Pt. 4 playing on his DJ name - Royale
This Is My House!

We sat on this one for a couple years. After developing a crew called Grand Groove with a blog to go along with it, we finally decided that this should see the light of day.
I wanted to stray away from the design of 'Crash The Party' on this one.
Straight text, and straightforward design to compliment it.
From Boo Boo To The Boardroom

When Royale pitched the idea of this 50 Cent tribute mixtape to me, I immediately knew what I wanted the project to look like - show his progression from his roots in Southside Jamaica Queens, to one of the smartest businessmen in Hip-Hop to date.
Quarter Waters to Vitamin Water.
Flipping a case file for the visuals, I feel that this brought that idea to life very well.
Play It Loud! Thursdays

Notaurious got in contact with me to design a flyer for Royale's new Thursday night, 'Play It Loud!' but left the visuals to my descretion.
A few months prior, Royale had a photoshoot with Bezel Photography and this one particular shot stood out.
From there, shot an email off to Bezel, got the photo, threw in some eye catching colors, and the end product is one that I'm very pleased with.
Breathe
Artwork for DJ Royale's 'Breathe' mixtape.
Royale and myself have been talking about doing something like this for a minute, and this was the perfect opportunity to put words into action.
With my long time interest in the art of Photography and the decision to invest in a camera of my own, we decided to go a step further in our process by shooting the images this time around.
We decided to keep the main visuals on this one dark, but threw in a bright red to offset to muted palette.
Definitely a learning process for myself on the Photography side here, and one that I think paid off.
This is one project that we're both very excited about.
