Yes Album Covers

I'm with Al, Yes come to mind for cool album covers. I believe Yes' covers were designed by Roger Dean. He was a giant in the fantasy art of the 70s. Tales From Topographic Oceans and Close To The Edge were 2 of my favs. I have kept "We're Only In It For The Money" by Zappa just for the cover art which is a parody of Sgt. Pepper. Gerry

Al - I figured out the scoring of the paper the hard way! I went through 2 prints before I discovered that little trick. The barcode was a joke...just random numbers. After we made it, we realized we should have put his girlfriend's birthday as the number, since it was a gift!

Thanks BigAl for the dimensions and tips. I found a nice website with a PDF with templates on it. I attempted to upload the file here but found out it won't allow PDF. So, here is the web URL

P.S. I have another template attached in the right file format.

Thanks for the site Lisa (I like your new 70s avatar ).

Some other clever covers were by the Moody Blues, especially "Days of Future Past" (which I think is one of my only surviving LPs from the 60s). Some of Cat Steven's covers were also interesting.

OK BigAl,

I had to laugh. My avatar is a recent pic I took of myself with my new digital camera. I guess I'm stuck in the 70's - cause that's how I dress normally (still laughing).

I think "Big hair" Al's avatar would make a good 70's album cover!

Hey, looks like I got a promotion. Do I get a big raise too? You can keep the royalties I"ll just take a flat fee.

I see the "Al" album as more of a funk style...and I got really, really bored this afternoon...it was a slow day....

I sort of "borrowed" a picture off your website and "altered" the hair a bit....you know, just exagerated what was already there...

This is my official entry into the Lisa Retouch Pro Album Cover Challenge.

OK - my turn. A little more serious - but the album cover is in honor of BigAl.

That is fantastic Lisa...and it's in stereo! I love the "posterized" look and the color scheme. Great font as well! Big Al is becoming famous!

The font I used was called "actionis".
