An Introduction to Album Cover ArtInfo Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionAlthough sound is an essential element of popular music, a great album cover can often become inseparable from the music it represents. From the fold-out gatefolds of the vinyl era to pull-out liner notes in CD cases, cover art has changed over time and the advent of streaming has threatened its existence. However, prior to MTV and the introduction of pop videos, album design was a key medium for artists to engage fans visually. Images on record sleeves acted as both a sales pitch and an artistic statement, contributing significantly to legendary status. The course looks at the history of sleeve design through a study of iconic and sometimes controversial examples from the 1940s to more recent examples from the 1960s onwards. If you are a music fan and enjoy looking at album covers, this course will deepen your knowledge and enable you to gain skills of visual analysis.

If a course is cancelled because of low numbers, a full refund will be issued to the same card that was used to pay the fee.

We may also offer you a transfer to an alternative course if you wish, subject to any difference in fees and the availability of places.

No refunds will be issued after this date. All refunds are subject to an administrative charge of 10% of the relevant fee.

Very occasionally students find they need to transfer to a different course. This happens most frequently in languages when the chosen study level is not the most appropriate for a student’s prior knowledge. Transfers can only be made for good reason, at the discretion of the department and subject to availability of course places. All course transfers must take place within 2 weeks of classes starting, in line with University regulations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
