Kanye's album art slays Common's because the cover of the latter looks a bit too much like a corporate-ish, iTunes-ish stereotypical easy design. Kanye's is nice and simple and completes the trilogy. Common does have some dope covers in his resume but the new one is WACK.

yeah i agree i didnt think he'd stick with that throughout all of his albums. and btw josh h. i heard that he was doing four albums in this series, with the last being called Good Ass Job, i dont know if im way off base with this one or not but i read that somewhere.

Looks pretty fake to me. All the objects except for the bear look like stock imagery, you could throw this together within five minutes with Photoshop. I expect him to stick with the theme but to come with something better that this.

[...] Verder Kanye nieuws; vele sites claimen de albumhoes voor Graduation al te hebben maar ik weet ‘t niet… Ziet er nogal fake uit als je ‘t mij vraagt. Oordel zelf hier. [...]

jerome is right it was a contest on kanyetalk,com ( a fan site) some how managed to around the web. The offical cover will be made by muriski who also designed the mixtape cover and stronger!
