Music not only influences us through how it sounds, but also the art it produces, whether that art be music video, fan induced art or album covers. However an album cover does a great deal to sell a record. If the cover looks interesting and draws a person in, they will be more likely to purchase the album to listen to the music. The cover art tells just as much if not more of a story than the music contained on the cd. Here are two of my favorites. The typographical one is Riot! by Paramore. It gives off the impression that the words really are rioting on the page through their use of typography and color. The next cover, Spiritual Machines by Our Lady Peace tells the listener a story of the human as some machine assembled by a higher power. It is intense and fascinating.
