Titles included in 'The story of the Boombox' book.

The titles below were all drawn by hand by myself. I wanted to give the book a more authentic look by making the titles legible graffiti. As graffiti is a key component of the Hip Hop culture I felt it was relevant to do this and in doing so I have given the book an even more urban feel. Which was exactly what I was aiming to do.

All of the images below were first scanned in then placed into Photoshop were they were all changed to black and white and had the levels changed to prepare them for Illustrator. Once in Illustrator I transformed them into vetor images using the live trace tool. They were then ready to be placed into the layout of the book which is an InDesign document.
