Digitization Of Album Art Is About New Possibilities, Not Smaller Graphics (Wired)
MS: In my opinion, digital album art and promotional materials should blow their physical counterparts out of the water. Conventional wisdom maintains that album art sits at the wrong end of a devolution, but that doesn't have to be the case. Vinyl has the size advantage, but televisions, cellphones, printers, media players and computer screens can do things a piece of cardboard cannot. It's time for designers to embrace the possibilities of digital album art rather than complaining of its diminishing importance.
