Rock album covers not only functional and artistic, but it also has the value of commercial sense. Rock LP as a cultural commodity, its cover is the first thing consumers are exposed to visual images, a good cover design can play a role in stimulating consumption. The punk music is essentially anti-business, it's also because of the rise of opposition increasingly commercialized rock, punk music, so the cover design is against the trend of the business. For example, monotonous black and white colors, rough fuzzy images, poor print production, sensitive theme implies, these are not in line with commercial standard production model. But the contradiction between business and anti-business is that, originally designed anti-business, but because of its individuality, rebellious expression by more and more sought after and loved. Year for The Beatles pop artist Hamilton designed the famous "White Album" cover, on a pure white cover The Beatles's name in addition to the right of the outside was empty, this is anti-business design because the design of personality sold.
Andy Warhol designed a big yellow banana as album covers for The Velvet Undergruond, has become the classic cover design.
