Many CD cover designs feature powerful self portrait shots of the artist, band photos or some crazy Photoshop design, with typography often taking a backseat. That is why I thought it would be cool to take a look at some album cover designs that show type some love! I hope you enjoy the inspiration.

Nice collection. A really broad range of typographic styles – inspirational. Thanks for the research.

Personally I think that Collective Soul’s “Dosage” album cover is one of the best ever and would like to have seen it included here.

Personally, I like the woodblock Beck Modern Guilt concept better than the final! Cool collection.
