Album covers : Thought patterns and design processes (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det finns mycket information om hur musikomslag har sett ut och utvecklats samt hur de ser ut idag, dock är det brist på information om hur de grafiska formgivarna tänkte när de skapade omslagen. I och med brist på tidigare forskning syftar därför denna studie till att undersöka hur tankemönstren och formgivningsprocesserna ser ut vid formgivning av musikomslag. Undersökningen baserades på 5 semi-strukturerade djupintervjuer med artister, grafiska formgivare och produktionsansvariga på skivbolag. Resultaten visade att artist och formgivare samarbetar för att framställa en design till artistens musikomslag, samt att artistens musikstil och sound är avgörande faktorer för påverkan av designen. 

Abstract [en]

There is much information about how music covers have appeared, have been developed and how they look today, however, there is little information about how graphic designers were thinking when they created the covers. Due to the lack of previous research this study aims to examine the thought patterns and design processes during the designing of music covers. The study was carried out by five semi-structured interviews with music artists, graphic designers and production managers of record labels. The results show that the musical artists and designers collaborate to produce a design for the artist's album cover, and the artist's music style and sound are key factors that influence the design.
