Critique: Another cover for a Kanye West album. The album got mixed reviews, but I'm sure we can agree that this album cover is amazing. So clean, so simple it is another example of less is more. The hands on the cover are a signature thing 'KAWS' does. The red heart really pops out because of the contrast of it with the background. I like the placement of the text and the spacing between the letters. Great typefaces were used for the design. And the colour palette on the side is such a great clean touch to the cover.
