90's Hip-Hop In Type - A Typographic Exhibition Project

In my senior year typographic projects class, we spent the 10 week fall quarter developing an exhibition project that investigated a certain topic of typography that interests us. Music, rap in particular, has always been a big part of my life. This combined with my interest for 90's design themes resulted in the following project.

For this project, we had to create a full booklet and microsite that showcased our research work and incorporated the design themes that we were exploring. I analyzed typographic trends in 90s Hip-Hop album covers, so I tried to showcase the album covers as the first priority, and let my text and 90's design elements fill in the rest. 

You can check out the full booklet and microsite below.
