“Music to Ball To” is a limited-edition vinyl box set from a collaboration between EMPIRE and NBA 2K, blending the worlds of hip-hop and basketball. I was brought on to design the vinyl covers featured inside the box set, focusing on transforming each artist’s image into a basketball-inspired visual through detailed photo manipulation and compositing. The goal was to create dynamic artwork that reflected each artist’s personality while maintaining a cohesive and elevated look across the collection.
