Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint” is an important example of an abstract album cover. Taking music ‘back to the basics’, Jay-Z has exhibited the transformation of his style as well as underlining his personal tone on the subject of music. I have been influenced by the absence of the artist and the minimalistic look created. By having musical instruments as the central attention of his cover, it has remarked the importance of talent and the irrelevance of the artist.
This album cover is ‘faceless’ yet contains a very deep meaning. It can be interpreted that Jay-Z’s aim was to change the stereotypical perceptions of ‘hip-hop’ into a more respected one. Similarly, I would like to portray the genre of rock as a movement for opinions being exposed.
