Critique: A little disclaimer before getting into the design, I am a huge rap fan and I take a lot of design notes looking at the album covers. Throughout my years of working with design, I have taken a lot of influence and inspiration through album art and fashion. This is one of my favourite album covers of all time. The use of complimentary colours on the black background is so eye catching. The paint strokes making the persons' silhouette is brilliant and the placement of text is great. The album was released in 1991 and is considered a classic.
