Album art refers to the visual artwork created for music albums, typically displayed on the album cover. It serves to represent the music and the artist, often reflecting the themes or emotions of the songs. Album art can include photographs, illustrations, or graphic designs, and is an important aspect of music marketing and branding. The design of album art can influence a listener's perception of the music before they even hear it. Iconic examples include The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon." These artworks have become cultural symbols, enhancing the overall experience of the album.
