Square Vinyl Album Cover Prints Featuring Pictogram Illustrations of Popular Song Titles
Stockholm graphic designer Viktor Hertz has created a series of square vinyl album cover prints that feature wonderful minimalistic pictogram illustrations of popular song titles. He is currently raising funds on Kicktarter to help with printing and shipping costs. Hertz also made a custom Spotify playlist filled with the songs that he chose for his art print collection.
