Album Cover Textual Analysis

good kid, m.A.A.d city

This is the second studio album by recording artist Kendrick Lamar. The text style on this album cover has been written on by hand. This makes the album seem very real as it looks like the artist has just written on it with fresh ink, this allows the artist to connect with the audience. It is on a grey background so it stands out and can easily be read.

The image on the cover shows a street on Compton, Kendrick's hometown. The special effect that has been put over the album image makes the cover seem like it's a piece of paper that has been put away in someones pocket. The white creases show where the paper has been folded. The effect can also show that the cover is old.
