Everybody cover art
The cover art for Logic's Album Everybody was highly anticipated by many fans and defiantly lived up to the hype. Their were numerous rumors about the cover art and who would be on it that made it such a special cover.The album Everybody is his third studio album he has created, it was released may 05,2017. He really expressed his feelings about race issues in his life and others on this album. Logic always goes into massive detail with his music and how it is made, but the main thing he really stressed on this album was the artwork and the concept of it. The cover of the album looks like a famous painting and has over 80 people in the picture. All of the people are important people to Logic from friends and artist and even his wife and dog. The reason it may look familiar to some is because it was highly influenced by the painting called “ The Wedding at Cana” by Paolo Veronese. If you compare the two you can see the very close resemblance.

Logic's good friend and also main artist and genius behind this project that put it all together is Sam Spratt. Spratt is well known for his talent in art and making illustrations for just about anything but even he knew right away that this one would be a challenge. The art for this album is so detailed and because of all the different people they had to create a map of it to start the project. The process of this was not over night nor just a couple months, to get more ideas and some inspiration Sam Spratt too a trip to Rome. Spratt states “ I looked at how general the gesture sketches were, I studied the soft drags of the pencil for the refined sketches on toned paper, the muted mid tone focused under-painting the pigments used, and the textural finish in final color."

The reasoning for so many people on the cover and the concept " Everybody: is because as Logic states "I want a celebration. My friends,my wife,my family,my inspirations, my dogs,your dog, your girl,you,all races,colors,creeds,genders,sexual orientation. I want a painting of EVERYBODY." The title of this album I think is a perfect title because it is exactly what the album is about as a whole. He really seemed to stress on how racism is still very active and cruel as it was long ago. And also how a persons sexual orientation can affect their lives in such a big way as he shows in the 1-800-273-8255 suicide prevention music video. As you can imagine the time spent on this had to be outrageous and exhausting, Logic and Spratt face timed hours on end going through how they wanted this took look, and deciding how each and every person would be posing and where they would be located on the cover and that is where Spratt first made the map. From the map they took everything step by step and then got into more details like the fashion of the people and how all the unique clothing was going to look.  As you can notice right away Spratt gave each person a mix of modern and futuristic clothing for the cover art. A pretty unique thing Logic is known to do in previous projects on his covers is throw in some Easter eggs they call it. What he means by that is add certain art or a person in the cover that we have to look for and really try to find and sometimes they even hint things. On his album cover for Bobby Tarantino he is sitting on a chair with a book on his lap, that book has the real title to the novel he has been writing that is being released sometime in the near future. A big Easter egg find fans found once this was released was that the Artist J.Cole is spotted sitting on a building in the album cover, this built much excitement for fans because many have wanted these two to make a song together in the past for years.
