Detailed Description
Album art covers are one of the most important aspects of any album release. They provide the first visual impression of the music contained within and can often be the deciding factor in whether or not someone buys an album. Some of the most iconic and memorable album covers of all time were created by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, who designed the cover for The Velvet Underground & Nico’s self-titled debut album, and Robert Mapplethorpe, who shot the cover for The Rolling Stones’ album, Some Girls. Album art covers can be either simple or complex, but they should always be eye-catching and representative of the music contained within. A great album cover will make people want to listen to the album, even if they’ve never heard of the artist before. So, next time you’re browsing the music section of your favourite store, take a moment to appreciate the artwork on the covers – you never know, you might just find your new favourite album.
