(This will be tags lol) In this animated video essay, for the hidden impact of album covers I talk about how some creators video were not giving the best reasons. The Power of Album Covers Nathen Zed, album covers the good the bad & the ugly fezzicus, the most insane album covers ever onlymallbites, album covers matter more than you think eleven 11, the qualities of a great album cover guy in plaid. They were describing albums covers, cover art, album art as being good or iconic from the quality of the actual music. But really it comes down to color theory for making a great cover. Space Balance Color Unity Shape Variety Form Emphasis Value Movement Texture Pattern Line Proportion are art principles that can make an album cover appealing.
here's a list of some of the best album covers/mentioned in the video.

dude you put so much effort into this. easily earned my like
ayy glad you liked it! what's ur fav album cover bro?
Bro forreal just based off the first 30 seconds - it makes me sad UA-cam doesn’t push higher quality content like this instead of all the mediocre stuff.
I hope that’s how my music is lol
Amazing video. I think the most visually appealing album covers imo are ones that are so simple, but genuinely thought out. Some of my favorite covers are The Forever Story, Doris and Flower Boy. Like what you said, just by looking at them, you can kinda assume what the album will be like. I'll make sure to check out the merch too, much love ❤
great examples in those album covers. I think that's why album covers are just so important, sets the mood for the whole project. and ty bro lmk if you end up getting anything :)
ik these take so much time with editing, animation and finding the information. thank you. need more videos!
means a lot bro
That color theory point you brought up is something I never really payed attention to until this video, thank u man. Also great video
yeah bro, I got way too upset after seeing so many video “trying to hit the points” from me being an artist and making coverarts over the years I had to give my take on everything.
truly one of the best videos ive seen that talk about music as a whole, keep up the good work :)
Wow, thanks! I'm really happy you enjoyed the video bro!!
This editing is next level bro
love the concept of this video🔥
ty bro glad u enjoyed it :) what's ur fav album cover of all time?
Music aside, what’s ur favorite album cover/theme of all time? personally my favorite is Jeffery by Young Thug. The blend of white and light purples really makes it come together with the dress becoming a focus point in the composition. Bro literally looked like the female version of Raiden from Mortal Kombat and it’s so hard.
Uzi vs the world
DR4L. It makes me feel like I just got a new video game, and the album kinda feels like that. Also EA by Uzi, it’s my home screen
amazing cover. music aside do you prefer the 1st one or the 2nd?
so true. which was one of juices main goals of the cover since he loved 90's consoles/early 2000's games
and can't go wrong with EA so good
Love the vid man I would love if you did shorts with music you love that week
bro this is actually a really solid idea, I might start doing like "everything you missed" or like "sleepers"
There is SO much effort in this! You’ve earned another sub :)
ayyyy you found me from the album cover vid?? that’s what’s up. this video was kinda a flop but glad you enjoyed!
loved this man. the editing on this video is crazy and you made some good points. i really loved the transition into starboy too. keep it up
ty bro that transition took awhile 😅 but I really like how it turned out!
glad ur enjoying the content :)
wowwww this is the best explanation of cover arts meaning! You’ve killed it once again jivo🤍 and i loveeee the elevator outro. Genius
ayy I knew you'd enjoy it, since you make art yourself!
yo great video, loved the talk about the other videos because i've seen two of them, and they were all the same, nothing new. i love the new points you brought up in this video man.
yeah it was actually the whole reason why I made the video. Before I was doing youtube I made coverarts/album covers for a lot of musicians so I got to understand what was important
what's ur fav album cover?
@@JivoDraws Blond-Frank Ocean
good ass vid! flows from subject to subject smoothly, never gets tiring and is consistently well-edited and animated with great drawings, I can tell it took lots of work and effort, liked and subbed
comments like this really make my day! I’m really happy you’re enjoying the content! :)
I love your content dood please release more I know it’s hard to do it all yourself but I would love weekly upload from you dood
it’s very difficult and time consuming to make these vids especially with the animation 😭 I currently got a juice ranking in the works
@@JivoDraws dude that shit will be so good my music taste aligns with yours lol! Can’t wait for it ! Keep on going ignore my drunk ass saying to upload more 😂 if it takes time to make the great videos like you do then take the time
aminé's "Good for You" album art is prolly my favorite cover art of all time
it also matches the album's theme,
goofy, fun and funny just like the album
🤝🤝🤝
yes bro I think the yellow was so important in the cover I couldn't imagine it being different. I need to listen to that album again.
@@JivoDraws Yello is not my favorite color but bro executed that cover perfectly with the blue and him being naked on the cover reading a news paper
that's an image many will never forget
classic album 🎖
@@jvhelee 🤝that's what I call a gen z classic
@@Beatz_by_Tp_the_don absolutely !
First of all. the animation and editing is better than every content creator, but also I like how you brought ur own experience to explain why an album cover is good. cause i’ve seen similar videos but they didn’t hit the points that you made.
so true
ayy glad you think so, yeah it was originally the reason why I made the vid. Since I have art experience with coverart and album covers I wanted to shime in.
you cooked here!!!!! good shit.
Love your videos ❤
glad you’re enjoying the content :)
Dude ur editing animation is out of this world, if u drop a course on that i'd buy it
this was so interesting and entertaining love this video
ty broooo glad u enjoyed!
The amount of work you put in this video is insane deserve 10m likes
Man you deserve more views and subscribers you a legend ❤
thank you bro :) i’m glad ur enjoying the content!
When you want to create an art full of intentional expression, all of it matter. Great dive on that part, album covers are getting a lot recognition these days and it deserves it.
they for sure do! starting to see some get more love than they once did also!
ur my favorite youtuber, so underrated
ty so much!1 I'm glad I'm ur fav! have you had a fav video?
Luv vs the world 2 is easily my favourite. I got an oil painting of it from my ex for christmas.
(One of the best presents i got.)
Great video as always❤
bro no way I got a LUV the world nightlight from my ex that's wild. Uzi gifts the best
I can’t get over Eternal Atake album cover. The spacey look literally resembles the spacey songs. Another greta video btw
bro surprisingly I only sorta liked it since I was obsessed with uzis cartoon covers
wolf by tyler the creator is one of my favorite album covers, personally i like his newer stuff more but i love how eerie the album cover for wolf looks
yesss I like in general tylers album covers are all so good and everyone has their own fav cover
I feel like Luv is Rage 2's album cover also fits the theme as you discussed with Trilogy by TheWeeknd. The gray representing the acceptance of Uzi's break up with Brittany Byrd along with of course the tape across the cover showing how he is healing from the experience. Just my quick thoughts on it. Loved the video, and I hope to see more!
bro this is actually really a solid point. definitely something I could’ve mentioned.
love to see a big uzi fan in the comments
You should make a video of ranking all of Ski mask songs. Also great channel man I’ve watch a few and it’s really nice. Keep it up.
I plan on it! I currently got a juice wrld ranking on the way!
another banger crazy crazy crazy keep chasing
You already know!
dope vid homie, keep it up vro 🙏
ty my g :) i’m glad ur enjoying the content!
props for him to make an album cover video without mentioning KSG
I really love Death Grips album covers, especially The Money Store's cover. They're so simple looking but effective at delivering what the album feels like. The weird imagery on the covers convey they're not a normal sounding albums too. The Money Store being a black and white drawing of a couple in BDSM gear is an example of that, the album having a weird, abrasive, and gritty feel to it.
even though I don't listen to death grips i've seen the covers from social media mostly antony fanteno and they fire fr
W channel bro! Keep uploading
Thank you, I will!!! :)
W video, underrated channel asf
ty bro more on the way!
great video man 🗣️
Glad you enjoyed my ggg :)
Love your videos
ty bro glad ur enjoying the content. what’s been ur fav video?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Dope video 🔥
Love your vids Bro can you pls make a video on A great chaos
could be possible currently in the works of my juice ranking vid. glad ur enjoying the content :)
This is Quality stuff i love the vid
glad you enjoyed bro what’s ur fav album cover? 🤔
goated youtuber. Cant wait 4 you to have millions of subscribers. But first 100k
ty bro! I'm on pace to hit 21k by the end of the year but my goal is 25k and my goal for next year is 100k!
@@JivoDraws👍
My absolute favorite cover of all time is GKMC Deluxe. It’s so iconic and looks beautiful
absolute classic. who do you think has the best album covers overall?
@@JivoDraws Tbh Kanye or Travis. Uzi is up there too, he has so many iconic ones
Tyler is such a genius with album covers. Well he is now, I don’t know if I would consider his early album covers masterpieces.
agreeeed
I think one of the best album covers is dangerous by micheal jackson which gives us a magnum opus into mjs weird mind, like how in a song from the bad album, called leave me alone, in the music video mj shows us his weird mine. Just watch it. In dangerous album cover it has weird beatiful images with a sense of rich yellow with mjs faces over it like hes looking at his mind. And with remember the time it gives a rich flattering love story. Its beautiful
I love jivo
I love binks7360 and his/hers dog piano pfp
W vid as usual , 20k by the end of the year ?
btw did you check trippie leaks ?
my goal is actually 25k then 100k by the end of next year 👀 and bro yesss so damn good especially “TRex”
Yay a new upload :)
Yes u r right that young thug album its very important for his career he wasnt quite mainstream until that cover and we all kinda just accepted him when he did that
the cover and song titles were just so out there to get a reaction out of people and it worked. and let's not overlook the actual great quality of music tho. thuggers best project imo
ayyyy trilogy love xo🗣️
That part where u said imagine if the Weeknd had a cartoony cover like Lil Uzi makes so much sense because look at the 10 year anniversary Vinyl for Thursday. It just doesn't feel right to look at (imo). Btw ur videos are insane, as usual.
Wow wasn't even aware of that. I just looked it up and I stand correct lolll. Definitely more of an uzi thing rather than the weeknd, and I'm very happy ur enjoying the vids!!
Great video ❤
(btw could you pls make that video on x’s Soundcloud discography)
yes bro 😂 ima rank juices disgo before I get to it tho
Life’s a trip because I literally had the wallpaper posters shirts and drew it once like the artist who made that cover did and still does his thing 🔥
bro so true I literally got a lifes a trip poster and shirt aswell
DONDA ALBUM COVER MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
LEGENDARY ALBUM COVER, btw is that a pewdiepie themed pfp or am I trippin?
@@JivoDraws lol it is, huge fan of felix and i love the wave design so i edited one out
that era of pewdz was so iconic. I still consider him my fav youtuber oat
You're so underrated wtff 😭😭😭😭
ty bro this one, one of my fav vids i’ve made!
Im happy that UA-cam recommended me this video
glad ur enjoying the content :)
Young thugs PUNK and JEFFERY n BTG are my favorite covers I have more but these came to mind first
yes bro young thug has had so many amazing covers in his career
he’s made some of my favorites fr
I love luv is rage 1 cover so much because is the image of my fav song 20 min
did you mean luv is rage 2? 🤔
@@JivoDraws no, i mean, in the Luv 1 cover there Is uzi taking the girl's hand in a concert. And in the "20 Min" song uzi basically describes that day
I luv the shoutout to cudis "best" album speeding bullet to heaven ahahhaha
ayyy even tho people don’t like it I luv the cover for some reason 🤣
Album covers are important. I wanna see a nice colorful creative cover art when an album is dropping. Like lil uzi covers from 2015-2017 and not just a face on a black background.
yes bro that was actual like an era in music for awhile. if you look up 2015 album covers they were much darker, but then 2016 came around with a lot of vibrant covers.
I refuse to believe jivo is a real person. I believe he’s an Editing God.
🤣🤣 glad ur enjoying the content bro i’m just a 6’ 5 emo dude fr makin vids
@@JivoDraws your a giant on UA-cam and real life 😂 respect 🫡 💯

ty bro :) what's ur favorite album cover?
@@JivoDraws kids see ghost Takashi Murakami did his thing the colours are amazing, also blonde by Frank Ocean its my favourite album of all time and just the photography is just amazing
@@Whodnl so much respect for takashi murakami as well as virgil. and yes blonde by frank ocean top 5 for me very good choices.

yessirski, what’s ur fav album cover?
3:05 is clean
Make a video about the underground 🙏
might do an animated discussion or a ranking vid soon!
Lifes a trip bc i love trippie and i miss 2018
fr bro 2018 the greatest year for rap imo
What’s the album of the cover on the right side of the thumbnail
Btw great video too
Jeffrey by young thug my fav album cover oat
thoughts on the redveil learn 2 swim cover
although I haven't heard the album I love the oil painting look and the cut off from above and under the water so sick!
Man On The Moon 3. Hands down best album cover (and album) of all time
and album?? surprised to hear you say that’s cudis best album but the coverart is definitely peak
@@JivoDraws "Best" is a strong objective word, but its 100% my favorite, its my favorite album of all time, idk how yo explain it but i am emotionally attached to that album in a way that i dont see it like other music forms or other albums. It dropped in such a crucial time in my life that i will doubt it'll ever stop being my favorite album of all time. Best Cudi's work? Doubt it, Motm2 or ppds are peak music. But personal favorite most definitely. (I apologize for the intense dickriding but all i said is 100% true)
@@adlano6134everyone has their own and taste ..Not fan of album covers .
WHEN IM HIGH JIVO TELLS ME TO BE HUMBLE
WHEN IM LOW JIVO BRINGS ME HIGH
JIVO IS THE MOST REALIST UA-camR OF OUR DEACADE AND HES THE BEST ANIMATOR OF ALL TIME!
I appreciate the luv my g 😭 ty for supporting me!
Another W video
Thank you bro i’m glad you enjoyed :)
i think album covers need to be unique, they also need to be distinguishable when they’re small cus for example in a playlist on ur phone a lot of the time it’ll be small. If i’m looking through my playlist for a song instead of searching for it i want the cover to be unique so i can just look out for the one colour or something, like how drakes last album it’s easy to tell what it is cus nothing looks like that dog lol
yes that's true It's also good to keep it simple sometimes besides making something so complex
@@JivoDraws ye people don’t notice little things it’s mostly the main figure in the middle and the colour in the background
🖤
😸😸
Die Lit has to be a top 5 album cover
This is a really good video i enjoyed it a ton! 🤎🌸
Ty juice glad you enjoyed it! Especially me mentioning frank ocean for u
my fav is nle choppa’s final warning cover
Great video now do album tracklists with deeper meanings
ooo that could be a good idea I'd have to do some research!
@@JivoDraws I’m pretty sure Tyler the creator has a ton of them
@@catch3359 yessss I know he does I had a friend that explained it to me. I could even just go thru a deep dive with tyler as well
channel orange has a lot of meaning to it tho
how so? I know the orange sets a mood but is there anything I'm missing?
do you draw and animate your videos?
bro you are actually a silly willy
Did you deepen your voice or something
I had to use an usb microphone for this video. but ngl it did kinda deepin my voice and make it sound more personal
Wait YOU made those dc the don covers?
yeah I used to work for bro he cause a collective called “ØUTLAW” that I used to be part of
@@JivoDraws oh yeah ive seen other cool artists from outlaw
@@Alcoholicchihuaua oh yuh that's whats up, no longer work for them though cause of some issues but yuh dc and frosty were cool
At Long Last asap or Astroworld
But Kanye made graduation
kanye did indeed make graduation which gradually makes him better than every artist in existence (no bias)
Hey, does anyone know what song plays at the beginning of the vid?
Don’t get me started on the Jandek album covers
i’m getting you started.. tell me about the jandek album covers
What about “Russ” he kept the same simple theme for his single releases
Bruh we need a ken Carson vid
should I rank his songs?
@@JivoDraws u can do that! Or talk about his come up
And yeah also "My name is JivoDraws" The annoyance in your voice😅
😭 it's every video I swear
How tf did u analysts the color palet of a black and white photo
all depends on what’s happening in the cover and how they use the colors
Pimp a butterfly,luv is rage 2,die lit
I feel like die lit aged really well, nice to see the cover be in the talks with some iconic covers
nah why do i feel really early
you hella hearly my g 😂
@@JivoDraws love the vid btw
@@hahahahahahahahahaha904 ty my guy :) what’s ur fav album cover?
@@JivoDraws in general my fav album cover is probably like the call me if you get lost deluxe cover from tyler or eternal atake by lil uzi
ayy fire weirdly enough I didn't like the EA cover at first because I liked his cartoon covers
Hot take or whatever but Drakes modern album covers are not bad at all. especially the cover for her loss is extremely uncomfortable, modern, different and interesting in a very positive way. A picture of 21 & Drake or something would be way less cool. Also CLB is a modern time stamp and so is the cover. I appreciate the minimalistic art style of CLB's and FATD's covers for leaving room for the music having influence on the listener. CLB has a similar cover to aspects of 808's or channel orange which are great covers.
I do think they are created to get a reaction. Like the CLB cover I feel is becoming iconic for how dumb and absurd it is.
4:35 song ?
it was a song I can contributing right thru this sound program. i’m not sure the exact name but I can prolly get back to you
