SumOne Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) What is your favourite album art? I'd probably change my mind tomorrow, but off the top of my head right now my top 3 are these: .....clearly I've got a thing for hand-drawn cartoonish stuff! And the best ones give a good impression of what the music sounds like. Perhaps streaming and digital files means the artwork is increasingly designed to be seen as a thumbnail on phone rather than 12", but vinyl sales are fairly strong and I think that's partly down to people appreciating larger-scale album art so hopefully it's something that'll stick around.

Barking Spiders Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I mainly like computer art. Probably my #1 is front pic of Lemon Jelly's Lost Horizons Edited July 19, 2021 by Barking Spiders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to my first interview for Uni (illustration) I told them I liked Roger Dean. Biiiiiiiig mistake. They hated him. 😂 For me, anything Roger Dean or Hipgnosis, as that’s what most of my favourite music came in.
