A brief history of CD Cover design
In 1938 Columbia records hired Alex Steinweiss as their first art director. He was credited with creating the concept of album artwork and was a pioneer in his field. Soon after he was hired, other major record companies followed suit by hiring artists to create artistic accompaniments for their artists music. By the late 1940’s all major releases had sleeve artwork which turned records into more artistically appealing objects.
As time progressed, Album Covers became ever more important in art and culture and became a big marketing tool for labels. Cover design was used to express artistic and political ideas and often became subject to laws and regulations for their risque, and sometimes offensive, topics. Of course all the free publicity and restrictions only made the record more sought after and ultimately helped it to sell.
Artists and photographers gained fame solely through their work for record labels and it continued to grow a as an art form and an advertisement.
With the increasing popularity of digital music CD Cover Design is becoming more and more important as musicians try to capture the online community. This is why it’s important you have a professional CD Cover Design, you have to stand out from the crowd!
