Format

The rock band T. Rex's album Electric Warrior came out in 1971 and this is the cover. The design has a dark background and a bright outline of a guitarist in front of an amplifier. The picture is easy to see and recognize because of the great contrast and simple structure. This cover shows how a few visual elements can build a legendary piece of graphic design and how full of life rock music from the 1970s was.
