Inspiration: Record covers and sleeves from an era where photoshop wasn’t around

covers_intro

About a week ago, a really interesting project landed. Someone who collects LPs and CDs asked me if i could design an e-shop for him so he can sell and connect with people who want to buy or exhange this kind of stuff. After about 2 days of research on the subject i was amazed from the quality of the designs for covers and sleeves that exist in an era were tools like photoshop and illustrator weren’t around. So here’s a small list of websites with this kind of art

    WHY ARE YOU JUST COPYING CONTENT FROM OTHER SITES AND NOT CREATING YOUR OWN!

    IT’S CALLED PLAGIARISM!
