So i just started teaching a photoshop/design class at the YMCA. Looking for great examples of urban/ hip hop centric design. Print or Web. These are pretty much homeless inner city kids who don't have a lot of direction in their life. So looking for kick ass things to show them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pepsi's attempt at trying to be funny and impress people.

Street Art all over the place.

Just being sarcastic, sorry about that. Here's some cool art:

How about showing them the eminem ipod ad? That'd be pretty cool to get people ectited. Also, that MK12 video that it was ripped from, be pretty cool.
Is it the central London one? I used to work out there with all the gays but had to leave due to work moving over to sho'ditch.

that's commendable _001.
don't really have any hip-hop stuff in my bookmarks but maybe show them any of these?

What a bell-endish thing to say, pepsi.
Um, anyway, if I were in your shoes i'd try and stray from the whole urban[e] hip hop thing - surely that's what these kids see all day long?
this is one time I'd point to Chuck Andreson's stuff ( http://www.nopattern.com/ ) - relatively easy to pull off in photoshop, colourful, yet kind of gritty at the same time.
Good luck, _001 - puts a smile on my face, thinking of what you're doing.
