I had an outstanding task of sketching out how the scenes will look like and listing elements of the composition for each of the artists. First of all, I made a general sketch (I know it’s awful) to visualise my idea. In general, it will be the head in the center with an emissive colour applied (one strong accent of the composition) and transparent, toneless objects around it, reflecting the glow. What inspired this concept was an image made by Mateusz Lengling. I loved how the grainy, grey background and general colour theme contrasts with the neon green object.

 

Each of the artists will have two small, repetitive elements floating around in different perspectives and main objects representing their musical legacy, oriented frontally towards the viewer.

As it’s still the learning process and I will have time to decide on the final objects (some of the artists will release new albums by then as well), it’s good to keep the options open. Although I’ve listed my potential ideas:

Travis Scott:

– Houston street sign

– butterflies

– eagle

– owl

– pills

– cactus

– flame

– opened window (Antidote song)

– elements from his new Astroworld album which is yet to be released (it’s a name of a theme park in Houston which was closed)

Tyler the Creator:

– sunflower

– bee

– donut

– “OF” symbol

– American pancake

– cat head

Kendrick Lamar:

– Compton street sign

– DNA structure

– kung-fu element

– crown

– pen

A$AP Rocky:

– grills (teeth)

– diamonds

– purple smoke

– dollar notes

– A$AP Mob symbol

– music tape on a pillow (Cozy Tapes)

– Harlem (NYC) street sign

As I mentioned, these elements could be a subject to change, but for now that’s what I can see in my concept.
