SumOne Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) What is your favourite album art?Ā I'd probably change my mind tomorrow, but off the top of my head right now my top 3 are these: Ā Ā Ā Ā .....clearly I've got a thing for hand-drawn cartoonish stuff!Ā And the best ones give a good impression of what the music sounds like.Ā Ā Perhaps streaming and digital files means the artwork is increasingly designed to be seen as a thumbnail onĀ 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 somethingĀ that'll stick around.Ā Ā Ā Edited July 19, 2021 by SumOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
