FLOW: WHAT RAP LOOKS LIKE

This publication exhibits artwork thatgraphically represents how individualrappers have their own individual styles.

Ten rappers have been chosen or thepublication, each o them have a very

dierent sound when they rap. This hasconsequently produced artworks o avery dierent nature. The process tocreate these artworks involved listeningto the rappers, and then translating theows and rhythms o their voice into anabstract artorm.

A secondary aim o this project was toopen peoples minds about the art ormthat good rapping can be. Rappers dontall sound the same, you just have tolisten to fnd that out or yoursel.
