Designer's name in liner notes

If it weren't for his series of album covers for Enoch Light's percussion series, I don't think I'd ever be able to show any of Josef Albers' work. While these designs rely heavily on his background in the Bauhaus, they still are able to communicate a percussive presence for the albums. In graphic design, style and communication often come into conflict, but a great designer can successfully marry the two concepts into a real work of art, such as the case with this piece.
