While researching artists CD covers I looked at some of the trends in Hip Hop album Covers. I came across Nas and found some of the trends he creates with his first 4 albums. Our artists have an element of Hip Hop about them according to the original artists.
Illmatic
This was his 1st album and was pinnacle in terms of the style of all his albums to date. Firstly the font on this album has been used on all his albums. The building in the background is of his housing projects, the theme of having a photo of him in front of them was used on his 1st for albums. Also the structure of having his name in the top right corner, album title in the bottom left is the same in all albums
It Was Written
I Am
Nastradamus
The idea of keeping a subject within the photo the same is made a theme in Nas albums. The font creates a trend, this is something we could try to do. We could have a distinctive font for our artists.
