Warp Records' Album Art

In design, we are presented a set of constraints and prompted to come up with solutions. One such example of a unique constraint set are those presented in album cover art. The designer must pick a representation that is cohesive with the track list and the mood that the band wants to convey, while also being memorable enough to make a splash in the industry. Warp Records' 2013 album releases are showcased here, and allow you the convenience of listening to songs from the albums without even opening a new tab! I encourage you to check them out, and see if the album cover provides a coherent face to the music contained therein. Here's an example by Clark, the cover of Feast/Beast. The artwork was a collaboration between the musician and Alma Haser.
