CD cover art designs

[Kullervo]

Don't laugh, this is what the graphic designer sees every day.



For good covers...





I thought this one was pretty descriptive of the music.



actually, most of the cpo releases have great cover art.

[Todd]

The English version of Electric Ladyland is nice, but I'll just link to it.


For classical, I guess this isn't too bad:




Some Naxos titles have interesting artwork by Tim Smith and Olexander Borodai, but there are too many to search for.

[Maciek]

That one should go here, I think. (The thread could use a revival.)

[Sergeant Rock]

[Bunny]

This one ought to be saved for a stemcell research thread.

[Shrunk]

Eric Dolphy "Out to Lunch"

Not classical, but still a classic.  I could have picked any of dozens of Reid Miles' designs for Blue Note.

In the outside of the Classic World,

I love this CD cover. 



The Storkes - Is this it?

  A cd cover inspired by Hugh Hefner I see.  I'll bet classical cds would sell like hot cakes if they adopted covers like this one!!!!

I like those EMI budget/mid-range box set covers

serious?

Yes  you don't?
I like the color combinations and those swirling designs 

[Kullervo]

They aren't that bad, honestly. They look good on your shelf, too.

[George]

Yes  you don't?

I don't hate them, but they aren't among my favorites.

[Leporello]

Pretty girl!  Beautiful music too...

[orbital]

She sure put on some weight between the two recordings (or lost depending on her discography)

[Greta]

I guess they are the "Related Rocks"? 

I always liked the Chailly Mahler covers too, this one with the pentagram is kinda spooky:



Still very powerful:

I think it depends on your point of view.
