This is the cover of the 1977 album Never Mind the Bollock's here's the Sex Pistols. I like this cover because is was a breakout from traditional album art in its lack of imagery. This graphic shows the power of color and even more so text. I personally have a deeper affinity for graphics that stand regardless of text so it is great to have a reminder text's powerful properties and creative use. The colors are so vivid on the piece that in a pile of covers from many eras it still stands out at a huge level. I like this album to the point that this is a photo of my framed original copy that I keep on a living room wall, one that I keep there in a much higher degree for the visuals than actual fan-ship of the band.
