I think I’m going to start a weekly “Fugly Album Art” feature because I’ve been coming across some pretty terrible album sleeves lately. Take a look at Ashlee Simpson’s cover art for her new album “Bittersweet World.” This looks like one of those cheap wallpapers offered at an unofficial Ashlee Simpson fansite — the ones created by 12-year-olds with an old version of Photoshop on their dad’s computer. I understand Simpson is going for an 80s vibe on her new record, but I think it could’ve been done in a more creative way without looking like a 10-minute project. Ashlee looks homeless and the font looks like the one spray-painted on the wall a few blocks from my house.
