The main dataset consists of the artvinyl.com cover design awards from previous years. (This part is add "Best Design Art" tag.)

Additionally add well-known album covers that have been symbolized. (This part is tagged with musical styles.)

Album covers with striking designs that follow the theme of the music are added (this part is tagged with the album name and music style) *The selection criteria favors design inspiration rather than mere pleasantness.

The above 3-part selection deliberately avoids album covers where the visual impact is based on the artist's own image.

A small number of album covers have been added that defy common sense in visual design (this part includes "Bad Design" and descriptions of design flaws).

Each image is tagged with the location of the text, including the language of the text. For example: Russian and English text is located in upper right.

"Include art fonts" has been tagged wherever it appears. *refers to computer art fonts that are not deeply integrated into the image.

Black and white" and "monochrome background" have been tagged.

The language of the album's music is tagged "xxxxxx language album", except for the English album. *Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish only.

Statistically, surrealist compositions have the highest number of images. So maybe it works better with some specific checkpoints.

Off-topic: doom metal's favorite to take famous paintings as covers, indie and metal have the most reliable visual aesthetic. Hip hop and blues album covers are a disaster, most of them like to have the singer's image dominate the picture.
