Blue Note covers
Sunday, November 21st, 2004OK, so my motives were a little sad (looking for cover art for my iTunes library) but for anyone interested in the amazing cover art of Blue Note Records, I discovered an amazing Japanese website yesterday:
Vintage Vanguard
It looks to me like someone more obsessive than myself has taken it upon themselves to scan every single Blue Note sleeve (at reasonable quality) and put them online. Great resource for designers looking for inspiration. Personally, I find them a valueable lesson in composition and simplicity – incredibly innovative use of the repro technologies of the day – and how many of us designers know about repro now?
