A baby boy swims under cool, blue water, a one dollar bill dangling on a fish hook just in front him. If this image sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because you very well might have seen it before. Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album cover was one of the most iconic and recognizable of all time. It helped catapult the then unknown band to worldwide fame in 1991, and the album went on to sell a whopping 30 million copies to date.
While some album covers are carefully conceptualized and carried out, others are created using stock photos, graphics or even AI. Either way, certain images just work well as album covers, providing the perfect "hook" that draws listeners to to the music beneath the packaging.
