As big of a Jay-Z fan I am I’ve honestly never really dug the Blueprint 3’s art style, not to say it’s bad I just think it’s kind of a combo-breaker in the series. The first two had blue tones with Jay in iconic poses, the third is music instruments mashed together with red tones. So as a throwback to the original I took a pic of Hov and overlayed blueprints of the Brooklyn Bridge. I did ultimately decide to keep the stripes just for the sake of connecting it to the real cover.
