The Significance of Artwork in Music

By: Domen Lombergar

In today's day and age, there is a lot more that needs to come with a band than just a snappy tune. Great album cover artwork for instance plays a large part in the success of artists these days, namely because it is a means of communicating with the fans outside of actual live shows and other interactions. It allows the listener to gain that much more perspective on not only the music but on the band members themselves and what they stand for.

The professional in music world shows that a spectator can realize many important things regarding a group with the specific design of their art. The art and design offers us the basic idea behind the source of the group, the kind of music commenced, the concern of band, the quantity invested to begin the album and many extra effects. Hence, it is very essential for the group to spend enough time to give more effort, feelings and manifestation into the lately design of album. The feelings must replicate consistently on the CD as well as the neighboring outfits.

In general, in this technological world, a highly designed album cover is a necessity for the band to mark its success. This fact is considered seriously and the main reason behind this is to attain success in marketing. Think of a person going out to shop some music CDs randomly, you can find that the first thing that attracts the person is an attractive album cover. Therefore, it is understood that a CD cover with good artwork helps a brand to gain popularity of music and attain large number of fans.

Outstanding Album Covers

There are various lists and surveys that have been done regarding the best album covers of all time, and a few in particular that always top the lists are: Blues for Allah - Grateful Dead, Yessongs - Yes, Relayer - Yes, Over-Night Sensation - Zappa, and Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin. It is important to realize here that not only is the actual album cover itself, what you see, important, but so is the inside of the album cover, where the lyrics of the recorded songs are usually displayed. Elton John's 1973 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road CD, for instance, was very popular for its pictures that accompanied each song on the lyrics sheet.

Rebels

There are some bands that acts as revolts to the consistency and wants to be away from crowds. Take Hard-Fi band as example, the album was launched to the market without any cover picture or artwork. The event created lot of negative impact at the beginning, but marked as a newly created trend.

Their admitted purpose here was to break the rules of an increasingly digital market in which the album covers often actually seem to be of more importance to some people than the music that is actually inside. Either way, even if the 'trend' does not catch on, it was a very innovative and successful marketing tactic in its own right, and the band has definitely gained new listeners due to the controversy started over this alone.
