Mixtape, Vol. 9
When I was first attempting to find designs which I could copy, alter, or simply ape for this series of mixtapes, I figured I’d look at famous logos. My first thought was Pepsi, but then remembering how Pop Will Eat...
Mixtape, Vol. 8
I’ve spoken previously about how my Photoshop skills were very poor when I began this venture of designing mixtapes, and if ever you needed proof, just look at this volume. Inspired Ross Gunter’s ‘Bridging The Gap’ poster, this was more...
Mixtape, Vol. 7
