Beyoncé's covers for her albums "Beyoncé" and "Lemonade"

Simplicity does not mean laziness.

Laziness implies that there was a level of not wanting to do work, not a controlled and purposeful minimalism.

This album cover is the perfect artwork for the project. BEYONCÉ was all about making the user experience the album as a complete piece of work again. By surprise releasing it with no notice and no prior promotion, it put all emphasis on the album itself, and this cover reflects that by giving it no real title, and simply stating who this album represents. As well, by releasing no singles before the release, every song on the album is giving equal importance and thus this cover reflects an egalitarianism wherein the music and videos that lie beneath the surprise are entirely uninfluenced by prior imagery.

omg yes! They didn't even try to edit the colours to match the photography.

ST's cover is kind of lazy, despite it being iconic. Because at the end of the day the thought was, **** it, they're going to get this surprise album, have no idea from the cover what's going on, and will deal.

They may have put a lot of thought into it, but the creation of it can seem lazy to some. So I get it.

At the same time, its simplicity worked. But I can understand why people think it is lazy.

I don't think this is lazy, just ugly. I mean, someone sat there and used three different fonts, for what reason...

The benchmark for TERRIBLE album / single covers. The photos they chose are all a mess too.

[Reinvention]

Also lazy and ugly.

This one looks so cheap and tacky. The lighting is different on each girl so it doesn't look cohesive at all, but that's Jessie J for you

It's literally just a photo (and a bad one at that) The fact that they didn't even bother trying to edit it / add text to it is tragic (and no it's not artistic, it's lazy). Thank god for the deluxe cover, which is 10000% better (and the lack of text is actually fitting since she's not wearing any clothes either).

This is amazing tbh
