Notebook Cover




This was the first assignment in my Digital Media class. Finding my vision for my notebook cover was very difficult. I think it's because I had to create something that I would be looking at for the remainder of the school year. This assignment kind of made me nervous because I had never in my life used photoshop or a Mac Notebook so I was very unsure on how it would look in the end. I'm not 100% happy with how it looks but at the same time I feel like I accomplished something that I have never tried before.




I used things that somewhat inspired me. Celebrities like Jay-Z and Beyonce, they are a power couple in hip-hop and r&b. They are both hard working people who went through obstacles in their lives and they've been together for 9 years and are now married. Kid Cudi is someone I had never heard of until his album released and as fast as that I heard he was retiring and after hearing what his music had to say, I understand why he's saving his genius. I put Fabolous on my cover simple because I love him and his swagg is crazy on point, lol. I also added my favorite cities of inspiration; Houston, Texas and New York, New York.
