# Insect Inkblot Album Covers The New Lil Wayne Album Cover is Designed by Kanye’s DONDA By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-wayne-album-cover References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2013/01/30/kanye-wests-donda-designs-lil-waynes-i-am-not-a-human-being-2-album-cover/) & [lilwayne-online](http://www.lilwayne-online.com/) The new Lil Wayne album cover comes from Kanye West’s creative collective DONDA and features an all black, minimalist cover accented by a ink blot image of a butterfly in faint red. Last year, Kanye’s DONDA collective created the cover for 2 Chainz 'Based On A True Story' album, which received widespread praise. Now Lil Wayne’s album cover for 'I Am Not A Human Being 2' gets the royal West treatment. DONDA is not another name for Kanye West in the form of a graphic designer if that’s what your thinking (although he would do something like that.) It’s actually a group of creatives who Kanye’s brought together to design [a variety of items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins). This cover features no album title, artist images or names. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Album Covers:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create visually striking album covers with minimalistic designs and subtle imagery. - **Collaborative Design Collectives:** Opportunity for creative collectives to collaborate with musicians and other artists to design album covers and other creative projects. - **Ink Blot Design:** Opportunity to incorporate ink blot images and abstract designs into album covers for a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Music Industry:** Opportunity for musicians and record labels to partner with design collectives to create innovative album covers that capture attention and drive sales. - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity for graphic designers to explore new techniques and incorporate ink blot designs into their work, including album covers and other visual projects. - **Creative Services:** Opportunity for creative services agencies to offer innovative and unique album cover designs to musicians and record labels seeking to stand out in a competitive market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Statue Album Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-season-4.md) - [Luxe Artful Limited Vinyls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-pimp-a-butterfly.md) - [Conceptual American Musician Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donda-foam-vehicle.md) - [Personalized AI Album Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-album-covers.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-boys-air-force-1.md) - [Rapper-Launched Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-juice.md) - [AI Cover Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/albumcover-ai.md) - [Rapper-Hosted Live Concerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-wayne-1.md) - [Album Merch Capsule Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dont-tap-the-glass.md)
