If you’re a fan of hip-hop culture, graphic design, or simply appreciate creative artistry, you won’t want to miss this rare opportunity to learn from one of the most influential graphic designers in the world—Cey Adams. The mastermind behind iconic album covers for Run DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, and many others, Adams is hosting an exclusive master class in collage at Art of Hip Hop in Wynwood, Miami, as part of the Monster Energy Monthly Program Series.
Who Is Cey Adams?
Cey Adams is an award-winning graphic designer and artist who rose to prominence during the golden era of hip-hop in the 1980s and 1990s. As the Creative Director at Def Jam Recordings, Adams played a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of the hip-hop movement. His artwork has adorned album covers, posters, and advertisements for some of the genre’s biggest icons, including Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Public Enemy, and Beastie Boys. His work has also caught the attention of global brands like Apple, Levi's, Converse, and Google.
The Art of Hip Hop: A Unique Venue for Artistic Exploration
The Art of Hip Hop gallery in Wynwood, Miami, serves as the perfect backdrop for this special event. Currently, the gallery is showcasing Cey Adams’ 40th Anniversary Retrospective, celebrating his four decades of groundbreaking work in art and design. With over 50 iconic pieces on display—including some of the most famous hip-hop album covers of all time—this is the ideal setting for an in-depth exploration of Adams’ creative process.
What to Expect from the Master Class
In this hands-on collage master class, Cey Adams will take you step-by-step through the art of creating visually dynamic collages—an approach he mastered long before the digital age. Before tools like Photoshop, Adams' process was purely tactile, using paper, scissors, and glue to bring his concepts to life. Today, this manual approach still informs his fine art practice, where he deconstructs imagery to build layers of color, texture, and light.
This is your chance to work directly with Adams and gain insight into his creative journey. Participants will be guided through the fundamentals of collage-making, exploring themes from pop culture to race and gender relations. Each ticket includes all necessary materials to create your own masterpiece, so you can take home a piece of hip-hop history.
