Idea for a blog

I wrote this beginning to a post many moons ago and it’s sat around in my drafts folder ever since. Given the increasing number of entries devoted to the design of CD covers and other music media, it seems increasingly pertinent:

Blog devoted to interesting music design e.g. rare box sets, beautiful/unusual packaging/promotional material along the lines of Adrian Shaughnessy’s three books e.g. Kraftwerk’s Minimum Maximum box, the three Various 7″ singles, the 7×7″ See Mi Yah, etc. Anybody could submit and if their suggestion was published, they’d be credited. Or there could be a weekly or bi-weekly posting. Good quality photography would be important. Some text, but not long screeds. It could act tangentially as a plea against the loss of design to the virtual domain and maybe even encourage good work.
