The evolution of album art

Wired is running an interesting article about how album art is changing.  A quick summary: vinyl offered more space, but digital offers more function.  Digital graphic artists are now recognizing that with the transition to digital music, comes digital artwork as well, which doesn’t have to only be a static picture.  Since it’s all digital, it could be a video, a widget, or any other form of digital artwork. It’s fun to watch things change right in front of us.  I can’t wait to try out new formats and see what the limits of album artwork really can be.
