THE BERNIE MAC FOUNDATION: TAPES FROM A KING
The Bernie Mac Foundation contacted my previous agency to create an album cover honoring the late comedy legend for what would be his 66th Birthday. Our goal was to visually capture his legacy. We wanted to highlight both seen and unseen photos from his family’s personal collection, along with elements that showcase his remarkable body of work.

THE IDEA
After reviewing a collection of approved unreleased images, I played Bernie Mac’s comedy sets in the background to immerse myself in his work. I created several options in Photoshop and presented them in Keynote for my creative director's review. After a few rounds and refinements we ultimately chose one design that was positively received by Bernie Mac's Family estate. The release of "Bernie Mac's Lost Tapes" was featured on Complex, Yahoo, and several other outlets in time for his 66th Birthday.
