Name some labels and projects, O High One. You seem pretty confident that your asshole is better than everyone elses without even knowing your contemporaries. It is unwise to judge one's superiority in such a manner, and your condescending attitude is bad character. But enough ad hominim. Let's hear who you've worked for to back up your immense ego.
And of course, my original point is that I do not know how someone so "qualified" in the music business for "years" could hold such a base opinion as that it is becoming less tangible and covers are less important. Do you not realize why so many bands are releasing double albums these days, giving more bonus tracks, bonus dvds and interview sections, flashy artwork and unusual packaging? Because of course, if they didn't, people would NOT BUY it! They would simply download instead, legally or otherwise, and the print media would fade to obscurity as its predecessors did. So you see, now more than ever are the tangible components of music vital to CD sales.
Unless of course you're one of those e-music mp3 morons, but then, you wouldn't be as a designer, since that drastically reduces the field of work you are able to provide.
