Think for a moment about your favourite CD. What pops into your head first? A particular song? Or the image on the cover? If you weren’t thinking about the cover at first, you probably are now.
While the art form of album design has a fairly short history, it has spawned arguably some of the most memorable works of our day.
The Beatles crossing Abbey Road may be the most imitated album cover in the history of recorded music. Likewise, who doesn’t recognize the image of an animated prism reflecting light as the cover of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon? How about a naked baby swimming after a dollar bill as Nirvana’s Nevermind?
