As a designer I love album art sometimes more than the music itself. Therefore I’ve collected 80 of my favourite album covers for everyone to enjoy.
The genres range from death metal, to Disney and everything in between. I’ve tried to include a mix of illustration, detailed graphic design, and stunning images.
If you enjoy this blog please leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you.
