Anyone's who has ever seen the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Band never forgets it. With its bricolage of famous faces and strange collage of figures, many people have wondered what on earth it meant.

The best record covers tend to enter the public consciousness and stick there. From the Velvet Underground's iconic Warhol inspired cover, to the instantly recognisable bright yellow and pink of the Sex Pistol's most famous album, illustration and music are closely related.

If you have a record label or album to promote, it's important you have a recognisable image, for both you and your artists. Illustration can help you achieve this. Nowadays a record needs everything to stand out, not just the music itself.

If you're a smaller record label, you may well not have your own art department. Using out-sourced illustration is therefore a great option. If this is what you're searching, why not use AKA Illustration?

Based in London, we love bringing something fresh and unique to every piece we work on. Whether it is album sleeves or promotional materials, our illustrations are fun, exciting and innovative.
