Christopher Lee Lyons is the designer for FHONIK, specializing in design for the music industry. He is the designer/art director for Res’ sophomore release, Black.Girls.Rock!.
“BGR was both musically and in reality (due to the long struggle to get the music to her fans) a testament to Res’ strength and perseverance. Based on mood/theme boards I created for the album design, I went with a look dubbed “guerilla graphics”. It was a look based in strength, empowerment and blunt honesty. This was the theme of not only the album but of the struggle to get BGR released. This look was achieved with the use of bold and bright colors, painterly brush strokes and striking photography. Not only was Res ecstatic with the final look but so have been her fans and critics alike.”
