Lupe Fiasco - Iconography


- Album artwork in relation to song and genre  
Lupe Fiasco’s Food and Liquors album cover uses different bright colours and lights around the artist showing a superior position. This also give a futuristic feel to the audience as he looks like he is on space, meaning he is above everyone and the main focus, although he is surrounded by different objects this suggests that he has different inspirations for his song. The clothes he is wearing shows us that the artist is a stereotypical hip hop artist. He is also holding a boom box whih suggests that he brings a retro/oldskool feel to his songs.

- Album in relation to lyrics of the song
The lyrics featured in the song mainly focus around the idea of being famous and materialistic objects this is represented in the cover as he is surrounded by different objects such as phones and a Nintendo DS

- Typography
I don’t think that this typography works well with the genre and album ocver. I think it was made to look futuristic but gives a Bollywood feel to the album cover when in actual fact they wanted to give a hip – hop/ futuristic style.
