Fonts

Rappers also tend to have their own style of font. For example, The game has the same exact font for 3 of his albums.



                                     

The game affiliates with the Compton gang Bloods. He represents his set wherever he goes, and it's evident through his albums where a hint of red is  vividly apparent. This could be something I can consider, my artist doesn't affiliate with any gangs however something he represents could be presented and it could be shown within the font of his name. The Game's title is always somewhere in the top of the cover.

Another rapper that his own font is Nas, who has the a  and the s joined and his name is usually located on the top right of his album.

Nas' title has the reoccurring theme of appearing on the top
throughout the majority of his albums.

50 cent also has his own font/label.It's always bold and n the top right of the cover, with colours vrying from alum o album. The big and bold font reflect his character as an artist.

Wale also has a particular font, it has an italic feel to it and appears somewhere at the top. The font also reflects wale's characteristics as a rapper, his flow is very fluent, and his lyrics are very poetic. The font gives me the vibe that this is his signature, and every album he's signing off, as if to say, it's a gift from him personally to you as a fan.

This made me think about my artist, and his font. What do i want to achieve n showing, do i want to show that my artist is stylish? Or show what he represents and stand for, or show his characteristics? Or all three? One thing i do know for certain is that i want it to be unique, and  because my digipak cover doesn't reveal my artist's face i want the font to be bold, to add to the ambiguity of my artist.
