Pearl / The Best Collection – KOKIA
This is probably one of the best “best collection” covers I have ever seen. The artist’s statement is: “I offer you my very best: my pearls.” The embroidery work suggests the hard work behind the tracks that represent the very best works of the artist since her debut in 1998. The concept of the pearl, something precious that evolves from something small and insignificant, is present not only in the title but also in the shape of the gems.
The colours are delicate, just like the pearls: golden threads on a subtle cream background.
The choice of the fonts – Harrington and Palace Script – matches the embroidery, and even if the name of the artist is all caps and in a strong and bold (and slightly stretched) Verdana, it matches perfectly with the rest of the composition.
