@ORAZAL only on qbn. from flickr...
"17 May 10 - Welcome all to my Flickr tribute gallery to an artist, designer and packaging inventor that I admire from afar, Alex Steinweiss.
Among his many artistic achievements, Steinweiss is credited with the invention of the packaging for modern album covers.
He's also credited with the idea of placing original works of art on those covers that were based on the traits of the performer, not the record company's imagery.Hope you enjoy his works like I do. Possibly you have some to share here as well."
- True. But it's not only on QBN that I've seen his name popping up all of the sudden.
