So today I happen to click on this article “Inspiring Everyday Graphic Design” over Smashingmagazine and I’m happy to see that Album Art was mentioned on the list.
The most inspirational things are often right in front of us. It might be the typography on a book cover, the colors of your favorite music album, the opening titles in that movie you saw yesterday. To celebrate all those little moments of inspiration, we have compiled some resources for you which honor the beauty of everyday graphic design and the ideas behind it. Perfect to squeeze into a short coffee break. Enjoy!Well, I’m glad KPOP albums are still maintaining their physical look (even gave us extra treatment like random photocard and poster) so that our music shelves will never be boring to look at. Also, that Album Colors project is a great appreciation for album art anyway !! Glad to read this in 2016! :D
The Forgotten Art Of Album Covers
The album cover was once an important part of music culture, with artists specializing in them and gaining fame with their work. Today, in times of digital downloads and streaming, the covers have lost their original purpose and live rather unnoticed in the corners of our smartphone screens.
Unfortunately, because there are still some real gems out there. The project Album Colors Of The Year by Marcos Rodriguez and Zé Felipe draws attention to this design genre by showcasing the best covers of 2015. But the site is much more than only a showcase: the covers are arranged by color and hovering over one of them reveals the hex color value of its dominant color. A treasure chest for any designer. Could there be a better source for some fresh color inspiration?
