I found this MASSIVE collection of Jazz record covers so big that I didn’t have enough time to go through it all. But the stuff that I did see is absolutely amazing. There are even hi-res versions of each cover.

Check out these gorgeous book covers designed by Klas Ernflo that were rejected by a publisher. What were they thinking? These cover designs are stunning and I would buy the book just for it! There are other covers on the site that are great as well.

Vintage Citroen Brochures

I found this amazing archive of old Citroen brochures from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with beautiful cover designs. The 70’s are definitely the best with the 50’s and 60’s containing some gems as well but the 80’s are mostly terrible. I love how these designs are timeless and look as if they were created today.
