"Historically, records were packaged in a plain white paper sleeve, simply to protect the vinyl. These paper sleeves featured little or no printing on them, usually just the music title or producers name."

"describe what a designer creates for the musician is a brand for their music. Not a brand in a corporate sense, but in terms of defining a visual identity."
"the designer creates something that transcends mere packaging. They create a visual representation of your music"

"Like popular music, popular album design reflects the popular culture of the society, combines people’s tastes and appreciation for the popular culture, and symbolizes the background of a certain period and value. Popular album design is a type of Graphic Design. It not only needs printing and mass production but also includes graphic design such as Typography, Layout, Illustration, and Image."
"album and its design not only represent music, but also gives us another type of room for imagination. In other words, albums are tools which reproduce musical content and album design also is the bridge between the tools and media."

A context is the circumstances that form the setting of an event, statement, or idea. Webster’s Dictionary defines it as the whole situation, the background or the environment relevant to a particular event, personality or creation.
When it comes to visual thinking, a context is the environment or canvas within which something is (the visual) or occurs. Therefore every time you draw an image on a canvas you are placing it within a visual thinking environment that is up for interpretation by those whom you’re trying to communicate your ideas with.

"Design is the formal and functional features
determination process, made before the production of
a product. Among many other production items,
printed 2D materials are the subjects which graphic
design is dealing with. Graphic designer organizes the
2D surfaces with typography and visuals like
photographs or illustrations (Shaughnessy 2005: 18).
As graphic design products, album covers are the
packages of music at the same time (Gomez-Palacio
and Wit 2011: 251). These packages both protect and
visualize musical expression. The genre of music and
the expression of the musicians shows itself on these
covers by using special visuals and typographic
combinations which are the main components of
graphic design."
