Nowadays, even without special training in art or design, you can "challenge" yourself to jacket design and typography at a low cost if you have excellent ideas, a good sense of style, and a strong DIY spirit. This book is a practical visual book for such new-generation designers (and design enthusiasts). It's a completely new "record jacket collection as a design guide," realized by selecting and arranging designers currently active both domestically and internationally. For young designers, this book will undoubtedly be a great source of inspiration. It's also recommended for creators in various genres, such as music lovers, culture enthusiasts, and fashion designers!
