Don’t Worry About a Designer, Get The Internet to Make Your Album Cover

February 6, 2014, 11:57am

A super-rare variation of The Beatles iconic Sgt Peppers album was valued last year at around $100,000 (€73.000) all because it featured the faces of 40 Capitol Records executives on the cover. But it’s easy to make super rare artwork, as proved by the internet, who are currently making MS Paint versions of album covers.

Originally started as a thread on the Kanye To The forum, (who will shoot me down if I don’t give them credit), it’s now spread over to Reddit and a bunch of other places. Here’s some of the best (and at the end are our own personally made versions of popular British albums).

And then, because no one has made any British albums in MS Paint, and we know how to have fun, we made our own. Here’s the Noisey teams personally drawn album covers.
