By Album Art Aesthetic

Thanks to CARI (Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute), we can now easily analyze and study the design concepts that have influenced the way we consume and create art. These concepts can influence how music sounds, and how music is presented. One of these presentations, is album art, which not only can put you in a mood for what you're about to hear, but can also be a time capsule of the influences at the time. Below, you can explore album art from my collection, and discover the trends that make up our culture. Click on a category to see these different aesthetics in action, and be sure to visit CARI's website to learn more about the history of design.
