Product Description
A catalog of design ideas for music-related materialThis book will offer designers a vast collection of inspiring and innovative graphic works from the world of music. The main emphasis will be on music graphics including album/CD covers and inside spreads, packaging, posters, and other sales materials from the past decade. Music makes the world go 'round, and great album designs generate sales for the record companies that back the artists. By showing diverse album graphics from the last decade, designers get a glimpse into what makes or breaks album sales and just how risky the content can be before it goes too far. Many designers hope to break into the music business by way of design, and this collection will offer insight and inspiration for those venturing in. This book will be a compendium of all types of graphically appealing album art, covering all kinds of music and music developers.

 1,000 ideas! August 31, 2008
This book is a treasure trove full of ideas and inspiration. Although the title says its a book of Music graphics, the ideas spawned from this book cross over into different genres. The color combinations, the typography, the different styles...I'll be constantly referring to this book for years to come.
 A "must-have" for any contemporary music enthusiast!!! July 3, 2008

This book is a "must-have" for any contemporary music enthusiast -or- at the very least, anyone who appreciates good cover art. The collection obviously represents zillions of hours of research by people who know what to look for and where to find it. Clif Stoltze designed this book with appropriate restraint so as to showcase the artwork but included plenty of zing to make for a ultra-hip book. The cover concept, with its inserted disc that actually spins, is striking, and I predict that this book will be a collectable before long. I'm advising everyone I know to scoop one up before they're gone.

this is one of the best recent comps of music-related graphic/image design.
it's a little jammed-up in the page layout, but that way Rockport gets in
more images for our delight. bravo!!
1000 Great Images May 19, 2008

As a lifetime lover of music and music graphics, this book is an incredible archive of the current state of the art. It's jam-packed, and few descriptions are offered (there really is no room). But instead what we get are clear, clean images printed as large as they could possibly be due to the publisher's format restrictions. In a way, I consider having fewer words as an asset. The design of the book lets you get lost in the individual jewels of the collection.
Stoltze Design put together a great set of work, fresh and inspiring, created by some well-known designers and artists; but just as many unknown or obscure. The gig posters were some of my favorite works.
This book delivers, and it will inspire as a reference for graphic designers and music fans alike.
Wow! An exciting discovery... May 8, 2008

1,000 Music Graphics is an utterly astounding collection of exceptional music packaging, posters, and paraphernalia by top notch designers and firms from all over the world. Page after page of colorful, conceptually rich and imagination-inducing music packaging left me feeling inspired and motivated to break out and do something entirely new and great. Soundly curated, the book includes packaging and such for a diverse range of musicians and music genres, with a handy index in the back, and an insightful introduction by the author, Clif Stoltze.
This book is a worthy abundance of amazing work that's well beyond visually satisfying...it's enlightening design-wise and it also opened my eyes and ears to several musicians I had not yet heard (I soon found myself listening to samples on iTunes!). Don't think twice about owning this book - it's special and also makes for a wonderful gift for anyone who loves design and music.
