Vinyl has sticking powerĪ library has opened up in London where you can borrow vinyl instead of books. Personally I think vinyl is more collectable than ever, either for the art (Gerald Scarfe’s artwork for Pink Floyd’s The Wall is a masterpiece in large format!) or for sentimental reasons.

I did the original artwork and actually I wouldn’t have done it differently if I’d had more real estate, but the exception doesn’t prove the rule! As to whether he will go ahead, it’s a case of how many people will purchase the vinyl to make it profitable.
PINK FLOYD THE WALL ALBUM ARTWORK DOWNLOAD
I am currently in talks with a good friend who has already released his album on download and CD and is considering releasing it on vinyl. Ah, to sit at home and download any album you desire – but this comes at a price to music shops and art. Everyone likes to see their work BIGĪnother point Pete Fowler raised was that with the music industry now becoming digital, designers are more quickly seeing their work transposed from a tangible object to being a digital image on a download screen … from our point of view, what is the point of this, designing something that will only ever be seen as a 1 x 1 inch blurred image? We know the practical answer, but it’s a creative question and a practical response is unsatisfactory.īecause since the introduction of music marketplaces such as iTunes, people don’t need to walk down to the local independent music shop to browse through shelves of CDs and vinyls they no longer seize the opportunity to buy an album based purely on the design of the cover. The real estate you get to play with is immense compared to that of a CD, so you get to see your artwork nearly four times bigger than usual. Now, a 12-inch vinyl cover is every designer’s dream (when you work in the music industry). He talked about his artwork for a 12-inch vinyl of theirs. As well as being an illustrator and a vinyl toy designer, he has done a lot of work creating album artwork and promotional materials with Super Furry Animals (this is a great song to listen to in this weather). A few samples of my artwork can be seen here at Craft Isn’t Dead.īut anyway, back to Pete. To date I’ve designed three album covers, four EPs and a 7-inch vinyl. As both a musician and a designer, I have a keen interest in album art. A recent talk by the illustrator Pete Fowler that my work colleague Mark and I went to in Preston sparked some musings on the subject of album art.
