“Blackity, Black” was a personal brand/passion project that I worked on during black history month. The name referred to someone who is being their authentic self, no matter the environment or circumstances. The goal was to create a lifestyle brand that uplifted and celebrated Black excellence. The main touchpoint was a set of baseball cards highlighting prominent figures from various fields. This was also part of a daily design challenge, so each drawing was completed within a day. The illustration style was inspired by the design of African masks as well as some of the work of Basquiat.
