this album made red hot chilli peppers a household name. 5 of the songs from the album feature on the greatest hits album. All photography, paintings and art direction for Blood Sugar Sex Magik were done by Gus Van sant who was a filmmaker. The cover of the album features the four band members' faces positioned around a rose. The lyrics are printed in white lettering across a black background, hand written by Kiedis. The booklet also contains a collage of photos assembled to showcase the band members' various tattoos, which feature faces of Native American tribal leaders, animals and sea creatures, as well as various symbols and phrases. Photographs of each band member alone, and two photographs of the band as a whole are also included.
the cover itself is simple but stands out and is vibrant. i bought this album having not heard any of red hot chilli peppers other stuff. my reasoning was for the cover. it just looked really inviting. i want my digipack to look approachable even to a non-fan of the band.
