Vintagespiration

Check out these sets of vintage vinyl record artwork put together by Jive Time Records in Seattle. If you’re looking for some graphic inspiration you won’t likely find in your library, look no further.

Stereo Stack is a sweet collection of those horizontal bars printed on record jackets at (usually) the top to indicate the album was in stereo. The range of typography and design elements is so fun to look at, and nice to see how much time and attention was put into advertising such a commonplace feature by today’s standards. Click the shuffle link to remix the order and look at how the strips fit together as a whole.

Project Thirty Three is a great big set of vintage vector-heavy record jacket artwork—right up my alley as far as style goes—from Jive Time’s private collection. It’s great to see how simple and clean is a timeless treatment.
