Illustration class project. We were tasked to choose a musical artist from 3 categories (jazz, blues or classical) and to create a CD cover illustration.

16. A Ransom Note

We had to create a “traditional” ransom note. By traditional, I mean cutting and pasting different letters to form the words. And, in the words of the teacher, “Any drunk son of a bitch can make a ransom note, but at least try to makes yours look like a graphic designer made it.” Then we had to scan the note and do whatever we want with it. One guy is even making it look like an actual kidnapping…He’s staging one with a friend and everything_Chaos Emerald Hunter.
