Mac Miller explains where he got the inspiration for his simple, yet clear representation of Blue Slide Park for the album artwork and mentions a kid’s drawing set it all off. Being that his brother is into art design, Mac enlisted him for the cover.
“We came across this 8-year-old’s drawing and we were like, ‘Yo, that is like the most simple but incredible thing ever; it’s right to the point.’ …Basically, the point is making something simple that can represent the whole idea. You look at it and it doesn’t look like a park, but you know that’s that Blue Slide Park.”
