C and C - Christian Rapper - DPChallenge Forums

11/28/2006 05:07:19 PM · #1

I did a shoot last night with a young man that is a Christian rapper...
he wanted something "inspiring" to use as a cd cover...

now granted... I am not a fan of the outfit ( looks like a rejected idea from an intel ad) but any ideas or suggestions... (dump and start over is an acceptable answer !)

Thanks

I like it quite a bit.

One thing you might want to consider though is that CD covers are square.

Yeah ... they are ;)

there is a square version is the back of my mind ... (more fitting for the CD)
I was interested in getting reaction on the concept

I like the concept a lot. You might considering somehow blending in the smaller picture of him a little better. It's a little bit jarring right now. Another idea is that you could just have the picture of him standing up. Just my two cents.

One thing that the guy might want to consider is that Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins, and he's wearing a money suit. Gasp

OK, ok... Just making sure you had that in mind :-)

I like the concept. One other thing that catches my attention is that the Pants legs of the standing man are sorta blending in with the jacket of the knealing one. Perhaps a bit more fade on the former.

Maybe his plan is to hide in the collection plate and his outfit is really camoflage.
