THE ART/WORK OF PROFESSOR JOHN JENNINGS PART2: THE ACADEMIC/COLLEGIATE EXERCISE OF VISUALIZING DOOM

A pervious post here on the StereoTyped blog gave some exposure to some of the illustration work of Artist/illustrator/professor John Jennings, Associate Professor of Graphic Design, Chair of the Graphic Design program, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prof. Jennings who, dedicated to exploring and teaching students about the relationship between visual communications and music (especially rap), teaches a class on the visual culture of Hip Hop. We found his MF Doom face mask design student assignment and final student work inspiring and interesting.

According to Artist/illustrator/professor John Jennings,

"These images are of MF DOOM's mask. It's a project that I designed for my VISUAL CULTURE OF HIP HOP course. The mask is used as an artifact for a series of form studies."


The artwork of DOOM can be seen below.
