An album cover is the front of the packaging of a commercially-released audio recording product, or album. The term can refer to either the printed cardboard covers typically used to package sets of 10" and 12" 78 rpm records, single and sets of 12" LPs, sets of 45 rpm records (either in several connected sleeves or a box), or the front-facing panel of a CD package, and, increasingly, the primary image accompanying a digital download of the album, or of its individual tracks.
The cover serves 3 main purposes:
To advertise the contents of the music product.
To convey the artistic aspirations of the original artists ( Alex Steinweiss' Cover Art).
In reproductions of the artwork, to serve as a primary image in the promotional efforts surrounding the product, as an identifiable image associated with it.
Also, in the case of all types of records, it also serves as part of the protective sleeve.

In today's lesson I've been surfing the web in search of potential designs for 'Tribal Man Skank'. So far I've noticed that the genre 'Funky House' isn't mainstream but it is popular in underground music and therefore its difficult for me to find design. However I've found blog posts similar to mine with albums covers and designs. Even though there aren't many album covers that i think i can relate to Ive found many promotional flyers which are very colourful which depict the 'Funky House' theme.
