Project Description
The Alex Steinweiss Legacy Collection was created by MOO as a way to honor and celebrate the man who revolutionized an industry and gave us one of the most beloved graphic art forms — the artistic album cover. This year marks 75 years since Steinweiss designed the first illustrated album cover. This collection produced on Luxe Square Business Cards is curated by Steven Heller. It contains 50 of Steinweiss' finest album covers from Bing Crosby, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong, and the Philharmonic Symphony, to the album cover for Winston Churchill's 1941 address to Congress. Steinweiss' cover art for the original Broadway cast recording of South Pacific has been in continuous use since its 1949 debut — an achievement for American graphic design that is matched only by the Coca-Cola bottle.Production Lesson(s)
