This past week I was at Ameoba on Haight and I couldn't help but notice myself being drawn to the albums and cds with the better cover art. I was compelled to listen to and purchase music that was portrayed with interesting cover art that attracted me to it. Because we can not immediately hear music in a store, we automatically judge it first by the appearance of the record.
There are great variations in typography on cover art. Some feature the name of the band or artist through large typefaces and others have no typography at all. By not putting the name of the artist/group on the cover, the art must stand out enough to draw the viewer in and compel them to pick up the album and look at the back to discover who the artist is.
