At some record show years ago, it struck me after looking through rows and rows of records that there was a tendency on the part of some cover designers to just make the singer’s, (or model’s), head as big as possible on the 12″ x   12″ cover area.   No doubt people are drawn to faces and big eyes, but is this face really going to sell records?
