This started as a photoshop class project that I decided to take further after graduation. We were instructed to use the program to create a poster or ad for a person of our choice. In choosing Kanye West, I first put together a collage of images that commerorated his entire career.
After thinking on this project for some years, I figured, why not revamp this thing and make it more specific? I asked myself, "What do I love about Kanye?" And then it hit me. I will never forget the era when he dropped my favorite album of his, Graduation. What a time. He also had arguably the best sneaker out at the time. So, hottest music? Hottest Nikes? I not only wanted to celebrate these things but also take it back to when I really began to connect heavily with that he was delivering. Props to the guy, Retro Ye.
