What's one of your favorite CD Cover designs and why?
One of my favorite is Jane's Addiction "Nothing's Shocking." I just love that image of the conjoined twins with their heads on fire.

Miles Davis's Bitches Brew is bitching...although recently the music label BBE has been putting out some great covers to their compilation series...
...also worthy is their Strange Games and Funky Things (the whole package) and Beats and Pieces...check 'em out.

of crates - a goldmine of early hip-hop, funk, and jazz - its amazing what you can learn from people through their vinyl collections.

The music industry is the same as any business. You have to answer to the same higher ups as you would in a corporate environment. At Bau-Da it was similar to my years in advertising. But you're right - it sure beats designing annual reports!!

naturally. i was just referring to the range of work/projects and the style of design you get to explore...

thanks kris. after saying that you worked at bau-da i was hoping to see some work on your personal site.
bau-da should be a link that every designer has in their favorites "inspiration" folder, and jennifer sterling's as well :)

God bless the Pixies. I have to agree with Bitches Brew. It goes with the music soooo well. I love the old Yes covers by Roger Dean. Tool has some great ones. Enigma too. The Beatles had a way of making you look for a long time. I always loved the Abbey Road shot. It was quite a pilgrimage crossing that street myself. I get a kick out of Filthpig by Ministry from a few years ago.
