Album Cover Design - December 12, 2009



Lately album covers have started to lose their uniqueness and they don't really stand out from one another. Every once in a while you might find one that catches your attention, but nothing like they did with records. Above is the cover of The Beatles' album, "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", one of their best albums. It has faces from famous people throughout time and all over the world. They are also represented in two different forms themselves symbolizing how different this album will be from their past albums. Like the music, their album cover was out there and in another world. It catches your attention and causes you to take more than a glance by at it. The use of vibrant color sets it off, and the cutout people provide a stark contrast to it. It's one of my favorite album covers.
