The father of record design is Alex Steinweiss, who in 1940, at the
age of 23, single-handedly invented the album cover. He made
thousands of classical, jazz, and pop covers for Columbia, London,
Decca, and Everest; and his modern designs graced the packaging,
logos, and covers of dozens of distilleries, film studios, and
magazines; earning him an AIGA Medal and the Art Directors Hall of
Fame lifetime achievement award.
Alex Steinweiss is credited with singlehandedly creating the
format, design and graphic 'language' of the album cover.
