Shane Roepe Designs the Packaging for 'Streets by 50'

Streets by 50 is a new type of headphone designed by the world-famous rapper 50 cent. It seems as if rappers are losing no time in getting involved in the manufacturing of headphones, with examples like Beats by Dr. Dre taking over a huge marketshare of this industry.

For the design of the SMS Audio Streets by 50 package, Shane Roepe used a sleek blue and black motif, marketing it more so towards men. When the package is opened, the outline of 50 Cent's face can be seen in a slightly creepy manner. The earbuds are placed within the package with a sound wave connecting the two, which is appropriate considering the product being sold.
