OUGD601 - Figure4 - Malibu by Anderson Park -2016 (Johnson, 2015)



2016 R&B album cover by artists Anderson Paak. The album cover or the promotional poster of the musical album has displayed direct effects of the contemporary urban styles (Nazari, 2016). The cover art includes an urban man-playing piano using his notes while sitting at the seashore at the time of duck. Waves are smashing towards him but the man with his instruments is busy in playing his music. Too many instruments crashing over each other are visualised in the scene. Such creative mixture of funk, soul and R&B has resulted in the lost of R&B soul (Johnson, 2015).
It can be examined that the contemporary R&B fail to embrace the finesse in the graphic design elements. The music covers like the songs inside album are also not able to define R&B effectively and simultaneously remove the confusion in the mind of the audience.
