Abstract
This thesis examines the evolution of music album cover artwork from the 1950s to the present with my original work complementing the study by using different artistic elements from each decade as inspiration. The research for the study was based on reviewing album artwork books, examining vinyl albums and CDs, and working with and designing album artwork for clients. My analysis highlights the characteristics of album artwork from these decades and similarities and differences across musical genres, as well as how my own artwork incorporates the different album art artistic styles from each decade.
