Abstract/Summary
This study was intended to gain a strong understanding of where the music industry and accompanying artwork is today, how music is primarily experienced, and how it will develop in the future. The widespread shift from physical to digital platforms has reached the music industry and how listeners experience their favorite music. Although there are many positive results from this shift, it is important to pay close attention to how these changes affect how one experiences music and what is lost in the shift to digital. Even more importantly, where this shift might take music and its artwork’s relationship in collecting and appreciating music.
Despite the extreme changes, music and album artwork have a dependent relationship with each other. Although music does not need artwork to deliver a valuable experience. Artwork is an indispensable asset to music’s identity.
