not sure whether to put this one in Art or here but:
any design-conscious sorts care to delineate a Canon for record sleeve design? Has one been drawn up within design circles?
this question was prompted by going into a trendy boutique in Miami at the weekend and seeing a monstrous fat coffee table style art book, full of record covers and posters and flyers designed by an outfit called Stylorouge (hopefully not garbled that in the memory), whom i'd never heard of. Wondered if they were in fact a big whiz in this field, something the cognoscenti were cognizant of but yer ignorant plebs and design middlebrows like myself wouldn't have known. Most of Stylogrouge's work seemed fairly obscure (the Passions!) and not all that amazing, but they were some well-known and striking designs in there -- the cover of Wild Things by the Creatures, Juju by the Banshees, a few others.
