Favorite Album Cover.

There are many different album covers, that strike the eye or pass. From the fonts, to the colors and overall design, many different elements. I have quite a few favorite album covers such as, Calvin Harris' 18 Months, Lana Del Rey's 'Born to Die: Paradise Edition and last Tegan and Sara's 'Heartthrob'.


But there is one that really caught my eye. As I said in the past, I am a big fan of different fonts. Also I love the edgy side of people, such as Rihanna herself and other women in the singing business. The album cover above is Rihanna's album Unapologetic. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 238,000 copies, becoming Rihanna's first number one album on the chart and best-selling debut week.

On this cover there has to be about two to three different fonts. The use of white space is well used, Rihanna is directly in the middle of the album cover. When I first looked at this cover, I was attracted to the album title behind the color black. The white on black lets you know that this is the album title. Other than that, I love the way everything is positioned. I do wish that maybe the album title would have been somewhat centered over the breast area, but that is about it. 

There are a few fonts that kind of model the font on the album cover here: DaFont
