Citizen Cope album cover


When I was younger one of my favorite things to do in art class was using stencils to create words. It's always a creative way to manually and creatively adjust type. As I got older, I had used stenciled type less, but I've still been interested in its design abilities. The Citizen Cope album has a great design and the type compliments it greatly. The guerrilla advertisement motif is supported by its 'hand-set' look and the military type and graffiti attribute of the type. The color is not as invoking, but I think this concept is unified and well composed.
