Prince's CD Designer likes to grab free fonts off the web. Prince no longer makes his own.

Whoever that Sam Jennings character is, Prince´s CD artwork has been steadily going downhill eversince that dude got into the mix.
Steve Parke´s stuff looked hideous as well....but at least you could blame Prince alone for directing Parke´s contributions...his solo stuff seemed OK as long as he didn´t work for Prince..but that Sam Jennings guy knows nothing about good album cover artwork.
The last booklet or cd cover that looked halfway decent was Diamonds and Pearls.

Yeah I "know" Sam. But he certainly got this font for free and didn't make it up himself.

I think there is no differene in quality between Musicology - Planet Earth. The artwork is ...ok. But Prince have never really had great album covers since Lovesexy.

I agree with you on Sam's work. I have seen better fan artwork and for someone like Prince, you'd think he'd have something better.

They all look ugly ! In the past, every Prince album was a visual delight, an aesthetic masterpiece, they all had style. You´re right about Lovesexy being the last great album cover....and imagine if he had used that other, alternate Lovesexy cover...then SOTT would´ve been the last great album artwork.

Diamonds and Pearls was also nice, the Symbol Album was OK but the rest was just bad...and I never liked the Gold Experience font or pictures either...would´ve been much better if he had released it in it´s original artwork ( just plain gold).

Even when he reactivates people like Jeff Katz or Randee St. Nicholas , something is still missing.
