Oxymoron is a gritty masterpiece created by West Coast rapper Schoolboy Q. The album merges themes of both luxury and suffering as byproducts of life as a drug dealer. My album cover strives to embrace both aspects of that lifestyle.The design features a marble statue of Schoolboy Q adorned with grills and gold chains to symbolize luxury, while the blindfold and golden tears reflect his blindness to the pain caused by his life as both a dealer and addict.

Throughout this design process, I learned how to use symbolic imagery to develop a beautifully cohesive design, while also significantly expanding my knowledge of Photoshop. Every detail in this design was intentional, carefully chosen to reflect the complexity of the album.
