All about album cover designers
Album cover art has a rich and colorful history, often playing just as important a role in the reception and reputation of an album as the music it contains. While browsing digital storefronts has replaced thumbing through bins of LPs or CDs, album art still plays an important role in the marketing and discovery of new music.
The artwork accompanying an album of music should be just as unique and memorable as the music on the album itself, conveying a message just as the packaging of any consumer product does. It should tell a snapshot story of the album that’s understandable by the audience while also incorporating the branding and promotional goals of the musician or band.
Great album cover designers are equal parts artist and interpreter, both channeling their own vision and representing that of the music artist. Musicians working with cover artists should find someone willing to listen to their vision and goals and use them when applying their own aesthetic to the album art design. Their experience and education in art design and principles make them a collaborator in the process.
