Color Theory in Album Covers

DONDA ALBUM COVER MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

[@JivoDraws]

LEGENDARY ALBUM COVER, btw is that a pewdiepie themed pfp or am I trippin?

[@vmudeep]

@@JivoDraws lol it is, huge fan of felix and i love the wave design so i edited one out

[@JivoDraws]

that era of pewdz was so iconic. I still consider him my fav youtuber oat

[@smedra1335]

ik these take so much time with editing, animation and finding the information. thank you. need more videos!

[@JivoDraws]

means a lot bro

[@LandonIsTheLegend]

Amazing video. I think the most visually appealing album covers imo are ones that are so simple, but genuinely thought out. Some of my favorite covers are The Forever Story, Doris and Flower Boy. Like what you said, just by looking at them, you can kinda assume what the album will be like. I'll make sure to check out the merch too, much love ❤

[@JivoDraws]

great examples in those album covers. I think that's why album covers are just so important, sets the mood for the whole project. and ty bro lmk if you end up getting anything :)

[@goat7262]

That color theory point you brought up is something I never really payed attention to until this video, thank u man. Also great video

[@JivoDraws]

yeah bro, I got way too upset after seeing so many video “trying to hit the points” from me being an artist and making coverarts over the years I had to give my take on everything.

[@JivoDraws]

Music aside, what’s ur favorite album cover/theme of all time? personally my favorite is Jeffery by Young Thug. The blend of white and light purples really makes it come together with the dress becoming a focus point in the composition. Bro literally looked like the female version of Raiden from Mortal Kombat and it’s so hard.

[@cosmomcfloso5820]

Uzi vs the world

[@CamoFlage907]

DR4L. It makes me feel like I just got a new video game, and the album kinda feels like that. Also EA by Uzi, it’s my home screen

[@JivoDraws]

amazing cover. music aside do you prefer the 1st one or the 2nd?

[@JivoDraws]

so true. which was one of juices main goals of the cover since he loved 90's consoles/early 2000's games

[@JivoDraws]

and can't go wrong with EA so good

[@gaav1nn]

aminé's "Good for You" album art is prolly my favorite cover art of all time it also matches the album's theme, goofy, fun and funny just like the album

[@JivoDraws]

yes bro I think the yellow was so important in the cover I couldn't imagine it being different. I need to listen to that album again.

[@Beatz_by_Tp_the_don]

First of all. the animation and editing is better than every content creator, but also I like how you brought ur own experience to explain why an album cover is good. cause i’ve seen similar videos but they didn’t hit the points that you made.

[@j.beeb3283]

so true

[@JivoDraws]

ayy I knew you'd enjoy it, since you make art yourself!

[@endergamer.mp4]

I really love Death Grips album covers, especially The Money Store's cover. They're so simple looking but effective at delivering what the album feels like. The weird imagery on the covers convey they're not a normal sounding albums too. The Money Store being a black and white drawing of a couple in BDSM gear is an example of that, the album having a weird, abrasive, and gritty feel to it.

[@JivoDraws]

even though I don't listen to death grips i've seen the covers from social media mostly antony fanteno and they fire fr

[@Thekingoftrackfield]

I think one of the best album covers is dangerous by micheal jackson which gives us a magnum opus into mjs weird mind, like how in a song from the bad album, called leave me alone, in the music video mj shows us his weird mine. Just watch it. In dangerous album cover it has weird beatiful images with a sense of rich yellow with mjs faces over it like hes looking at his mind. And with remember the time it gives a rich flattering love story. Its beautiful

[@FireflameGames]

My absolute favorite cover of all time is GKMC Deluxe. It’s so iconic and looks beautiful

the cover and song titles were just so out there to get a reaction out of people and it worked. and let's not overlook the actual great quality of music tho. thuggers best project imo

[@AtinsMusic]

That part where u said imagine if the Weeknd had a cartoony cover like Lil Uzi makes so much sense because look at the 10 year anniversary Vinyl for Thursday. It just doesn't feel right to look at (imo). Btw ur videos are insane, as usual.

i think album covers need to be unique, they also need to be distinguishable when they’re small cus for example in a playlist on ur phone a lot of the time it’ll be small. If i’m looking through my playlist for a song instead of searching for it i want the cover to be unique so i can just look out for the one colour or something, like how drakes last album it’s easy to tell what it is cus nothing looks like that dog lol

Hot take or whatever but Drakes modern album covers are not bad at all. especially the cover for her loss is extremely uncomfortable, modern, different and interesting in a very positive way. A picture of 21 & Drake or something would be way less cool. Also CLB is a modern time stamp and so is the cover. I appreciate the minimalistic art style of CLB's and FATD's covers for leaving room for the music having influence on the listener. CLB has a similar cover to aspects of 808's or channel orange which are great covers.

[@JivoDraws]

I do think they are created to get a reaction. Like the CLB cover I feel is becoming iconic for how dumb and absurd it is.
