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 smaller the budget the bigger the restrictions, and the smarter you have to be to solve the client’s problem. This design solution for Murmur Records from Bunch is just that. Iconic, visually arresting and cheap to produce. These debut releases from Murmur are bound to be collectors items.
It’s a testiment to the Rolling Stones that the original Rolled Gold (the best of) was released over 30 years ago. This version has been titled Rolled Gold+ and you have to thank someone for not calling in Rolled Gold 2.0 which was probably mentioned in a meeting. Thankfully this version of the album not […]
Kisschasy’s second album “Hymns for the Nonbeliever” takes the form of an old bible which was inspired by the album’s title. The band actually briefed the studio with “we want a bible” and Mathematics took it from there.
I’m not sure what the concept behind the distorted text is and I’m not 100% confident “Rumproller” is meant to be a reference to shaking your booty. It’s a great name for a roller coaster though.
I do know that it stands out when browsing by tiny thumbnail on a music site. Although this was […]
With over 12 years of design heritage behind it, a design for Bugged Out! Classics is like doing the “Best Of” for bands like U2, Beatles and the like. You don’t want to replicate what has been done previously and you want this to stand on its own.
A perfect look for a modern ‘electro-soul’ band gaining its inspiration from 70’s P funk. What I particularly like about this cover is how real it looks. You can instictively tell straight away that the image wasn’t generated by a computer, that it was created by hand.
The final album for Funkstörung features their most subdued cover. Funny, this is how I imagined all the Funkstörung covers to be. Although having since checked them out this is not the case In fact none feature clean vector artwork at all. I guess their music made me think of minimal design and the fact […]
This was submitted by a reader who was shocked we hadn’t already posted it. You could probably guess from the previous albums posted we probably not big “BS&T” fans, or even born when this came out, but that wont stop us from posting it.
I forgot how much i loved this cover, this album was a big favourite of mine around the time of it’s release but since then has been gathering dust in my semi-archived stack of CD’s.
The cover was painted by Wayne White, an artist i knew nothing about, which is not surprising as i know nothing […]
