After wondering
out loud who had designed the cover for Jay-Z's
Blueprint 3 (
Mike Conklin thought it might have been Kanye West), I just came across the portfolio of the photographer in question by chance. It was
Dan Tobin Smith, who, along with set designer Nicole Yeoman, specializes in filling the frame with innumerable objects arranged so that from one specific angle they resemble some larger form, often a letter (you may have seen
his entry in the recent
Times Magazine spread of Ts). Much of his work, in fact, is more beautiful than his
Blueprint 3 cover, and
his portfolio is well worth a browse. (
