This, apparently is the world’s first album cover, designed for Columbia by then 23 year old designer Alex Steinweiss. Before this records were sold in generic sleeves. You can read the full story and see lots more images over at Udependent.

I’m Phil Clandillon, an interactive designer and art director. For the last 8 years I’ve worked both client and agency side on digital projects for music industry and entertainment clients as well as consumer brands. The aim of this blog is to document and explore the changing role of graphic design and the web in promoting music as we make the transition to a predominantly digital music industry. Along the way I'll also be covering examples of the best uses of graphic design, interactive media and generally clever marketing for bands, artists and records.
