 Cover Art
Art Chantry, the 43-year-old graphic designer who's been called the "monarch of messy" and the "master of grunge," always wanted to be an archaeologist.
Chantry's posters and record covers in the early '90s for a then-fledgling Sub Pop label and, more recently, for garage-rock label Estrus Records, are adding up to a vernacular of his own: a glorification of middle-American "low art" sensibilities which has been called "unslick" by fans and "ugly" by detractors.
In town to speak at the American Institute of Graphic Arts' Sound Off: The Top 100 CDs (a one-day exhibition showcasing the best in CD design from the past five years), Chantry knows a thing or two about the importance of packaging, in the music industry and beyond.

 Passport to the Cosmos | Cover Art
Dr Mack and the staff at PEER (his research organization) felt it would be better to have a strangely luminescent star rather than a saucer, so that viewers of the cover art would be able to decide for themselves what they were looking at.

 Album cover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An album cover is a cover used to package commercial audio recordings such as the printed cardboard covers that were typically used to package 12" gramophone records from the 1960s through to the 1980s when the 12" record was the major format for distribution of popular music.
As a marketing tool and an expression of artistic intent, gatefold covers, (a folded double cover), and inserts, often with lyric sheets, made the album cover a desirable artifact in its own right.
The importance of cover design was such that some artists specialised or gained fame through their work, notably the design team Hipgnosis (through their work on Pink Floyd albums amongst others) and Roger Dean famous for his Yes (band) and Greenslade covers.

 Upper Room | Devotional
I related it to a blue figure holding a knapsack singing, "How ya' gonna keep 'em down on the farm?" Later the prodigal is shown in a pigpen, jumping up almost impertinently to declare, "I shall return to my father." No remorse or sadness is evident at all.
The image on this cover helps us to revisit this parable from an adult perspective, to feel the agony of shame and the impossible sweetness of God's forgiving love.

The cover on all three editions of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince— the U.S. edition from Scholastic, the U.K. edition from Bloomsbury and the deluxe edition — seem to emphasize the relationship between Professor Dumbledore and Harry, says Melissa Anelli of the-leaky-cauldron.org.
On the Scholastic cover, she says, Dumbledore "seems to be showing Harry the contents of a pensieve (storage device for thoughts and memories); on the Bloomsbury children's cover, he and Harry seem to be at the center of a fiery vortex."
The covers of all editions, she adds, "seem to show Dumbledore guiding, leading, fighting alongside and acting as a mentor to Harry, something fans missed dearly in book five, where Dumbledore purposefully shunned Harry to protect him.
