In this episode of Judged by the Cover, Josh and Phil explore the iconic album artwork for Ghost in the Machine by The Police.
Released in 1981, this record marked a turning point for the band as they began incorporating synthesizers and new sounds into their music. But just as interesting as the music is the album cover design created by Mick Haggerty, which uses a digital 7-segment display style to represent the band members in a futuristic and abstract way.
Josh and Phil dig into the story behind the album, the inspiration for its title, and how the design perfectly reflects the theme of humans interacting with technology.
Along the way they discuss:
- The evolution of The Police’s sound in the early 80s
- The concept behind the Ghost in the Machine title
- How the iconic digital album cover was designed
- Why simple concepts often create the most memorable album artwork
- Lessons modern artists can learn when designing their own cover art
