soulbounce.comI co-owned and served as Creative Director of the award-winning music website Soulbounce.com from October of 2008 to June of 2011. I designed the logo, website, and established a vintage, 70's Blaxploitation poster-inspired branding style that went far to distinguish Soulbounce from the many other music blogs covering the same genre.
I oversaw, designed, and developed many projects during my tenure, mostly notably "Men Love Mary", an all-male vocalist, 15th anniversary tribute to Mary J. Blige's "My Life" album; The Mixologists series mixtape covers; The Summer of Michael Jackson graphics and mixtape covers; and Behind the Groove and Soulbounce Honors graphics.
Soulbounce won The Soul Train Award for Best Soul Site in 2010 and the Black Weblog Award for Best Music Blog in 2008, 2010, and 2011.
