Here is another of my favorite album covers. This is the cover from The Grateful Dead's 1969 album Aoxomoxoa. The cover was designed by Rick Griffin who was a graphic artist and a surfer. I have loved this cover since I was a child and I saw this in my parent's record collection. It was one of the first albums I got myself, although I didn't even bother to listen to it until much later. My interest in this cover certainly stems from the graphic style which influenced me, a style that also closely relates to graffiti. The symmetry is also great and it shows a hand drawn style that could be related and as good as what people produce on illustrator today. This pic certainly doesn't do it justice.
