DAMIAN LILLARD | DAME D.O.L.L.A.

CLIENT: Front Page Music • ROLE: Graphic Designer • TOOLS USED: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

Damian Lillard's team reached out to me to create several single covers for his releases under Dame D.O.L.L.A. Below, you will find the single cover designs that I created in collaboration with Damian and his team. Each cover represents a unique concept and challenges that I was able to successfully overcome through my process.

The first cover I had the opportunity to create was for the song "Goat Spirit." The concept behind the song is Damian channeling the energy some of the most iconic figures in modern society.

I wanted the artwork to reflect this concept, so I included several symbolic nods to these well-known artists and athletes. For example, the snake in the design represents Kobe Bryant, who was known as the "Black Mamba." The bandana and nose ring represent Tupac Shakur, the hoop earring represents Michael Jordan, and the title belt represents Muhammad Ali.

Overall, the goal was to create a engaging cover that accurately represented the theme of the song and paid tribute to these influential figures.

For the second project, I was asked to create artwork for the song "Home Team." The theme of the song is about the importance of keeping everything close within your family.

To visually represent this concept, I chose to use a group family photo that was taken on the Trailblazers court. I placed this photo between the title of the song, which had childhood photographs masked within it.

The end result was a cover that not only conveyed the message of the song, but also captured the close-knit nature of the artist's family.
