Kanye West's 808's and Heartbreak wasn't only one of the most innovative albums of our time, but the album art is something that hip-hop has never seen before. The design of this cover, doesn't take the usual path. The main focal point of the cover is the graphic of a deflated heart shaped balloon. This is obviously linked to the title 808's and Heartbreak The text is aligned perfectly centered with the graphic, and doesn't use any bold colors or large fonts to emphasize on his name or the album title. The main focus is heartbreak. The multi-colored streak along the the left side of it, completely throws of the balance, but in a good way. Not too sure what that symbolizes, but it helps bring more life to the entire image, and the splash of color is more than welcome in an otherwise morose combination of colors.
