A music album cover is the front artwork of a music album, typically displayed on physical formats like vinyl records, CDs, or digital platforms. It serves as a visual representation of the album's theme, style, or mood, often featuring images, illustrations, or typography that reflect the artist's vision. Album covers can be iconic, influencing popular culture and art. They often include the artist's name and album title, and some famous covers, like The Beatles' Abbey Road or Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, have become symbols of their respective eras in music history.
