Album Cover Art: 25 Purely Typographic Design Ideas
Today, I am featuring 25 album cover art and concepts featuring typographic designs. By rounding up these projects in one location, I hope to provide young and aspiring artists inspiration in designing their own album cover.
There are plenty of ways to design an album cover. Some use heavily edited and airbrushed photos like those in movie DVDs and some music albums while others try to be more creative by using typography and text effects. I prefer the latter style as it takes one to be really creative in order to come up with great designs using text and text effects alone. Also, using typography as the main design element has been a growing trend in recent years. We see them in book covers, movie posters, print advertisements, greeting cards and even in t-shirt designs.
Most of these album cover art and designs are just concepts, mostly from students of graphic design. A majority also of these designs are are actual artworks for music albums. I hope you will find them helpful and inspiring in creating your own typographic album cover art.
