Barbara Kruger, Cover for Business of Punishment by rock band Consolidated, 1994

Barbara Kruger's album cover design for hip-hop band Consolidated's Business of Punishment (1994) reinforced her influence on political and activist design by extending her signature visual language into the realm of album art. Kruger's work became known for its overlay of blocks of bold text over photo-based images, getting messages across to audiences swiftly and effectively. The album cover design aligns with Kruger's interest in feminism, critical theory, and political themes, which echo Consolidated's critiques of capitalism, mass incarceration, and systematic injustice throughout the album. Kruger's work as a graphic designer has fused political art with the universal language of music to reinforce the role of graphic design as a medium for social commentary.
