MACKINTOSH MEDIA

Writing, Typography, Video, and Sound

This one started with a poem. I realized it needed music and visuals, so I took it upon myself to fill out the production. Everything done by myself.

Typography

Visual Storytelling

A music video set to KRS One’s “Raw Hip Hop.” KRS One is one of the art form’s originators and he continues to influence the genre. This video functions as a tribute to the origins of Hip Hop, my first love in music and a great American folk tradition. Emphasis is on the four foundational elements of the culture referenced in this song: breaking, graffiti, DJs, and MCs.

A practice in creative transitions and mixed media. These images were cut, distressed, and torn by hand before being rescanned and digitally edited.

Stephen Mackintosh utilizes evocative music, clarifying copy and striking visuals to communicate spirituality, environmentalism, and the human experience.
