i am very interested in seeing album covers that resemble these, though i'm not sure they'd belong in this thread tbh? i mean because that kinda covers a large swath of years and bunches of budding designers way too excited to be learning photoshop.

I was gonna post Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel" for 1988, but that's even better.

a few Bowie albums might be suitable here.
But I offer this 1993 ambient, erm, classic.
