My latest Smashing Magazine rant is up: A Social History of Jamaican Album Covers.
The intention was to write something that’s enjoyable if you’re a fan of the music, interesting if you’re not a fan, and validating if you hate the music. Accordingly, my favorite twitter comment so far was when somebody wrote, “This looked totally obtuse to me at first, but then I realized it’s actually well-executed.” High praise indeed!
fantastic piece, Dan! Thanks!
