Wow another Beck album so soon. I’ve been so busy lately a street poster had to alert me to the fact this was released.
Initially I thought they had forgotten to commission a cover for the album and just used what was lying around for the cover of Modern Guilt. It’s boring, uninspired and so generic. […]
The simplicity and humor of this albums cover reminds me of XTC’s Ten Feet Tall. The brief must have come in with the album name and then it would have been “You know what let’s whack a sandwhich on the cover” then they went out and got wasted.
What happens when you mix a random Wikipedia page with a random Flickr photo? You get the basis for an interesting CD cover and the brief for the ever expanding CD Cover Meme on Flickr.
One of my favourite album covers, and subsequent single design from last year is Roisin Murphy’s ‘Overpowered’. The concept came from Scott King’s idea of Roisin representing a ‘24-Hour Pop Star’, whether grabbing a bite in a greasy spoon, riding the

It’s not just Michael Jackson releasing a deluxe (remixed) version of a classic album. Beck is getting in on the action too with the release of the Deluxe Edition of Odelay. Just a mere 12 years after is original release.
What I enjoy about posting on Sleevage is not only do I get to explore music genres and bands I’d normally ignore (or even avoid) but I also learn about new artists, photographers, designers and other artistic people along the way.

This was another cover I noticed while doing updates to the ARIA awards site. It’s one that appeals to me as a designer but also as a photographer. The montage of seemingly thousands of photos is both beautiful and disturbing at the same time.
Oh look it’s another cover which features photos in a natural history museum. This time the Durban Museum. Don’t worry this one’s different and while not having as polished photos as the others it’s still an interesting cover. Also it has an interesting title.
O.k. I know the two-tone burning Zeppelin image is the Zep equivalent of the Stones’ tongue logo but when I think of Bonzo and co. album covers - I think of Richard Drews’ novelty rotating disc sleeve for Led Zeppelin III,
