What your favourite record cover?
I am embarking on a new creative venture of re-interpreting and redesigning record covers with different materials to give them a third dimension, dynamic colours and tangible textures using everything from leather to stitching to coloured ink. This is all in the the belief that record covers are truely amazing pieces of artwork in their images and to make them more tangible would be a wounderful thing. I have already finished Belle and Sebastian “Tigermilk” which will be uploaded soon am working on Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols and my interpretation of The Velvet Underground and Nico “Andy Warhol” is in my portfolio.
You could have hanging on your wall a slightly different interpretation of a record cover that has meant something to your life and that you really appreciate for its design and for the music, culture and time that it symbolises.
So I’m putting it out there to you my creative friends (that would be you and you) what are your favourite record covers and why? and if you are interested in ordering a design feel free to let me know. Also any other ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy what is to come xx

I have two …. both the Cure (I know!!!) The first is the Cover to their Three Imaginary Boys Album. Why … well, you’ll understand that when you view the cover … it doesn’t even have the name of the Album on it!! WOW ;) Love it. :)
The second isn’t an album …. but a Single Cover … yes, the Cure again ;) This one is called Lovesong And the cover is a photo of art drawn on fabric. This looks so damn cool … and also, for me that fact that the two people have been merged in the painting/drawing … in essence becoming one …. thus, Lovesong. Brilliant :) :)

Bit of a fan myself Craig so would have to agree.
I’ve always liked the cover to Ritual de lo Habitual by Janes Addiction, some sort of Spanish religious theme going on.
