The cover design of the album is just like the face of the album, which not only protects the album, but also condenses its inner meaning. Through the combination of words, images, colors and other elements, the information to be conveyed should be visualized and fully displayed by using abstract or realistic expressions. So, how to create a cover that is refreshing and can fully reflect the contents of the album? There are four forms of album cover design:

1. Only the title of the book, the name of the author and the name of the publishing house are marked on the cover. Use plain white paper and print one or two colors. This design is mostly used in academic books and specialized works.

2. Design with vivid expression, concise description and images (paintings or photos), which basically reflect the main points of the content as elements. This album cover design is mostly used for practical and entertaining album addition.

3. It may be difficult to convey the meaning of the content only through basic text elements. In order to make it easier for readers to understand, articles or photos are directly selected from the words in the book and quoted on the cover design of the album.

4. From words to cover performance, the four elements of words, images, colors and materials are comprehensively used to create a comprehensive expression of creativity. This design form is more suitable for cultural, artistic and ideological reading materials. The expressive force of its content and emotion often gives people a taste of infinite artistic conception visually and even from the heart. The cover is actually a reproduction of the essence of the album content that echoes the text. The design form of album cover is not limited to the above four kinds. Excellent design should be based on jumping out of restrictions, expressing and transcending content, and achieving unity with connotation.
