ABOUT

Ras Simeon Judah – Record Cover Design Series

This series of record covers was created for Ras Simeon Judah, an artist whose music blends deep roots reggae, conscious lyrics, and spiritual messages. The design goal was to visually translate the power of his sound — music steeped in Rastafarian culture, African heritage, and uplifting vibrations — into bold, memorable visuals.
Design Concept

Each cover draws from reggae’s visual traditions while incorporating a modern, distinctive style. Rich, earthy tones and the iconic red-gold-green palette are paired with symbolic imagery — lions, natural landscapes, and cultural motifs — to reflect the artist’s identity and message. The covers are meant to be instantly recognizable while evoking the spiritual energy of his music.
