Pittsburgh, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — Ocreations, a local cutting-edge design solutions firm, was selected to do the design for best selling hip hop artist Wiz Khalifa for his Under the Influence of Music Tour in the U.S. and Canada.  The ocreations design was used for the promotional poster for the tour, electronic promotion on Facebook and other social media, as well as concert shirts and merchandise sold at the events.

The ocreations team worked with Rostrum Records to develop and perfect a unique design that would appeal to the hip hop target audience for the tour.  The design chosen was a combination of hand-drawn illustration combined with cutting-edge computer graphics to create a smoky urban feel which hit the mark for the client and audience. Nina Zivkovic was the lead illustrator and Jared Dieffenbach was the designer, art director and project coordinator.
