| Gallery label | In the download age, music graphics have shrunk into pixels on a tiny screen and records are no longer something you can hold in your hand. A recent upturn in vinyl sales can in part be attributed to the exciting graphic design of a new wave of album visuals. New LP art is flourishing in a rich mix of inspirations and methods of image making. The sometimes mysterious designs invite us to examine and decode like the historic telegraph communications system seen in the Coldplay LP sleeve.(2019) |
