Alex Steinweiss

 I found out about Alex Steinweiss when reading the Eye magazine, I found out that he was the first record cover designer. In the Eye magazine he quotes 'I got this idea that the way they were selling these albums was ridiculous. The covers were just brown, tan or green paper. I said, "Who the hell's going to buy this stuff? There's no push to it. There's no attractiveness. There's no sales appeal." So I told them I'd like to start to designing covers.
I like the third cover best because he has made the hands black and white. I think he has done this to make the harmonica stand out.
