Musikraphics

Songwriters and musicians convey complex emotions through their music, and graphic designers and artists are then faced with the challenge to create complimentary graphics to go with them. The vibe of the content, record and CD covers, tour posters, stickers and fan club accessories can transcend mere packaging and become timeless cultural ephemera. Focusing on contemporary designs from today's most exciting underground and indie music, pop, country, jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, alternative rock and electronica, Musikraphics features work ranging from pure graphics to photography, sticker, collage and silk screened art and innovative packaging for vinyl records and mp3.
