Grooves from the Genius of J Dilla

// INTRO

In the creation of the 'Dilla Time' proposal deck, we aimed to encapsulate the essence of J Dilla's influence on hip-hop and beyond. The documentary celebrates the storied life of the legendary prodcer, and the design of the deck needed to parallel the innovative and soulful rhythm of his music. It was a deep dive into the visual storytelling that reflects the beatmaker's enduring legacy.

Our design approach was to create a visual homage that paralleled Dilla's creative force. Each element of the deck was a nod to his enduring legacy, setting the stage for the documentary to captivate audiences with the story of a musical trailblazer

Directed the design team, collaborating closely with Scenario Media to ensure our visual storytelling harmonized with the documentary's narrative.
