a fictional campaign for Tierra Whack
made in Blender, Photoshop, and Illustrator
fall 2019
In February and March of 2019, Tierra Whack launched a social media campaign under the hashtag #whackhistorymonth. During this month, she released five brand new singles directly onto her twitter: Only Child, CLONES, Gloria, Wasteland, and Unemployed.
Here, I use a simple calendar to touch upon critic and audience receptions to the songs. The cover art of each single is pinned on the date of their release. Information delivered includes critic’s reviews, lyrics, fan tweets, and a view count on Unemployed’s music video.
Doubling down on the theme of the writing process, the album art features the same infographic and notebook-calendar, but placed into a still scene. Here the calendar is now riddled with objects strewn and placed atop it. The objects are rendered in 3D, and vary in realism in their textures in order to evoke Whack’s brand of surrealism.
