While recording artists and bands are busy recording their albums, a separate effort is usually being made behind the scenes to plan for the launch, promotion and circulation of the new tracks. The creation of CD cover art is an intergral part of this process.
As any other creative field, music blends wonderfully with design when it comes to creating appealing album covers. That’s why you will find music CD covers with fantastic graphics, cartoons, type treatment, photo manipulations, drawings, paintings and more. Usually, the cover illustrates the feelings the artist wants to transmit with his music and it often has a very personal approach.
We have selected some of the remarkable CD cover designs for you viewing pleasure. We hope that this will come in handy when all of the sudden you find yourself designing a Album cover for your client.
