This amazing illustration is by Michael V Rios who's done a lot of Santana's art work. I think it's really interesting and exciting to look at. It would definitely catch my eye on the shelf and tell me that this music is probably pretty hippy and trippy.
Led Zeppelin
This is a really iconic album art work. The design is obviously based on the Lissitzky design from Russia. The block colour makes the design stand out a lot and grab the attention of the viewer. This design also relates to the music really well, Led Zeppelin is a powerful song and this is a powerful design.
Modern Covers with photos
I wanted to look at modern covers, and the biggest artists I could think of used photos of themselves to sell the albums which I found interesting. With the older ones they used art to depict what their music was about, with modern ones it's more who is singing the song that sells it rather than the music.
I also looked at older covers that used photography which does use the same technique of selling the people rather than the music or style. I couldn't use the idea of showing the artist because it secret.
These two albums caught my eye, I really like the minimalistic colour palettes. It creates quite a calm look and shows the kind of music these two artists produce.
Other vinyls I've looked at..
I wanted to look at older more psychedelic designs to see what they were like in the past and to see if I could create something like that but with a modern current design.
