Album Typography
Good typography is vital to successful graphic design. Design Taxi has recently profiled some samples of album cover art that utilize type in interesting ways. “Third” by Portishead has always been a favorite of mine. Enjoy your weekend.

Working under his design shop moniker, Artillery Design, Seattle’s Brad Klausen produces some amazing poster art for the likes of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Built to Spill.

Zakk Wylde magazine cover art
The latest issue of Revolver magazine features former Ozzy guitarist and Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde on its cover. If you couldn’t tell by his resume, Zack is quite successful in representing the dark, aggressive and middle-finger-thrusting world of hard rock and metal, and this cover art fits the bill quite beautifully as it […]

Broken Bells interactive video
I have to thank good friend and Seattle graphic designer Spencer Choi for giving me the heads-up on this brilliant interactive music video. Comprised of James Mercer and Danger Mouse, Broken Bells records heady space-pop that I imagine would make for a good soundtrack if you were strapped inside a capsule with a one-way ticket […]

Asher Roth website
This site rocks. Well, no, let me take that back – this site actually raps. And it does so skillfully with a highly original aesthetic, fun interaction and plenty of personality. I can only assume the developers of this site spit code like Asher flows with rhymes. An XHTML battle anyone? Conceptually based on illustrations […]

Jed Davis packaging
Two thousand ten is the new 1890, thanks to this “wax” (ok, they had to make it plastic) cylinder that contains Jed Davis’ new single, “Yuppie Exodus from Dumbo,” a passionate vintage pop tune with some jazzy ragtime cowbell flavor. Phonograph cylinders were the mp3’s of the late 19th century; they represented the cutting edge […]

Fabrice Lig packaging
When designers collaborate, we all seem to win. This packaging for Fabrice Lig’s new album/CD, “Genesis of a Deep Sound,” benefits from a melding of the creative minds of EDIT, Sawdust and Andrew Moore. The results match the mood and feel of Fabrice’s digital beats and lighthearted mechanical rhythms. There’s a playful aspect to the […]

Spike Press posters
Spike Press is the work of Chicago-based illustrator and designer, John Solimine. I’ve had this site bookmarked for quite some time, but recently rediscovered it as I was cataloging my resources for RB. I had forgotten two things: 1) how crazy talented this guy is and 2) how well Mr. Solimine has mastered color. What […]

Ivan Khmelevsky posters
Moscow-based graphic designer Ivan Khmelevsky has recently graduated from design school, but you wouldn’t know it thanks to his well-executed mix of gig posters. There’s a wide variety of influences represented here, and it serves Ivan’s portfolio well as each piece appears unique, focused and reflective of the artist it is promoting. Nice work.
