Discussion Album/Single Cover Designs

[RobbieGray17]

One of my personal favorites

 

[Storm20]

Paul Mac's new single artwork is a vibe!

Recently got a hold of high res images of the artwork for the Currents singles






Just so coherent and mesmerising

In terms of something that works as a standalone piece which is striking and deceptively subtle, visually and conceptually, it's hard to go past:

For marketing mastery, late-90s girl groups and boy bands is where it's at. Spice Girls' second album, which is just different enough from the first without taking any risk of abandoning the successful gimmick, might be the best example.

Here are my favorites

The Paul Romano Mastodon covers are great. All the liner notes are stellar too.


Much better uo close and personal.

I love that pic more than I should

They look cool

Really love this artwork created by Takashi Murakami, the artist behind the famous smiling flower which I'll link below.
He also created the artwork for Kanye and Kid Cudi's "Kids See Ghosts"

Absolutely love this one. One of the most beautiful looking pieces of art in my vinyl collection.



Some other favourites. All varying reasons. Some for being exactly what you see. Others for relating beautifully to the album theme or change in direction of particular artist.
