Cover Art Review Vol 1

By Carles | October 12, 2007

I’m no graphic design guru, but is Britney Spears’ cover art for BLACKOUT really worth taking seriously?
What aesthetic does it convey, and do you think it reaches her target audience?

When I look at it, here’s what comes to my mind.

HAIR SALON AD

CAR SHOW FLYER

ASIAN FOOD MENU

Am I being unreasonable? How is she able to evoke so many tacky aesthetics in one album cover? Does this make her a genius?

This is not a reference to that fag (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqtjOn9qVg4). But seriously, give her a break. She is trying to find her self/career.

If you lose the hair salon ad and maybe double the Asian food menu (it should def be weighted) then I think you’re right on.
