Yes I am a music junkie of the worse kind … my day begins with and ends with music … as I write this post I got (Whole Lotta Love / Led Zeppelin) blasting away … you got love’m!

Ran across this article from Smashing Magazine on Album Art … which I do enjoy looking at and have thought over the years of collecting …

“Album cover art is often considered to be one of the “extincted” fields in modern graphics design. In times when digital copies are cheaper and quicker to get, album covers have somehow lost their importance as less and less customers actually buy CDs and LPs in the stores. That’s a pity because album covers can be extremely expressive and convey the message of the album in a number of creative ways. This post attempts to prove exactly that.

Music and art go hand in hand. And the best way to get a potential buyers’ attention is with an eye catching album cover. We all know you can’t just judge a book by it’s cover but it doesn’t hurt to give a CD a spin based off a sexy piece of art.”

Have a read and view of the article 35 Beautiful Music Album Covers …

Enjoy!
