Call Me If You Get Lost

Tyler, the CreatorGraphic design2021

The cover of Call Me If You Get Lost is an identity card. It belongs to "Tyler Baudelaire," the globe-trotting character Tyler created for the album, and shows a passport-style photo of him in a light-blue hat, next to fields of personal details, stamps and a signature on a perforated, cream-coloured card.

The design was inspired by passports and travel cards from the early 1900s, matching an album about a wealthy traveller who boats and flies around the world. The surname Baudelaire comes from the orphaned siblings in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Darren Vongphakdy and Tyler, under his alias Wolf Haley, directed the art, with photography by Luis "Panch" Perez.

Tyler revealed the cover on 17 June 2021, and different streaming services carried versions of the card in different colours. Released on 25 June 2021 through Columbia, the album debuted at number one and won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, and fans made their own versions of the travel card online.
