Another letter to Janet

So I was writing a letter to my girl Janet, and I told her that I just saw the new cover to her CD, 20 Y.O., over at Popbytes. And I was telling her how much I love the photo, but then said how I hate the typography. Come on Janet, what’s going on with this font? And why is it gold? That’s so 1999. Sometimes it’s trendy to bring back elements from yesteryear, but gold fonts haven’t quite made their comeback.

I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong about everything. Maybe I’m too old, or too white, to appreciate the duet with Nelly, the terrible CGI music video, or the flashy gold type treatments. Or maybe you should have just called me before you started working on this new album. Time will tell.

[ P.S. - Okay, so nobody is going to ask why I’ve started my last 3 posts with “So I was writing a letter to my girl Janet”? Oh fine, I give in…. I’ll tell you. It was an inside joke. My friend Pete thought it would be funny if I started all my posts that way. It just makes everything sound like a personal letter, doesn’t it? ]

Is that gold lettering or even worse….clear lettering with fire in the backround. Ouch! Oh Janet stop letting gangsters and basketball players design your album covers. Let the gays do it right.
