Example Artist from UMG
For example: Kendrick Lamar won a Pulitzer Prize for his album DAMN. For capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.
The album art uses a bold red serif font that is cohesive with the background. This gives it a more sophisticated feel since the music touches upon current issues, so the art calls for more than just a ‘gold chain smothered’, ‘self-centred’ look. Simplistic = effective.
