A mix of bold graphic, typographic and/or photographic album covers from the 1950s and 1960s; well, with the exception of one 1970s cover I slipped in the set.

Editor’s note:
This marks the final post of this nature on AQ-V as I have decided to wrap up this enjoyable four year long chapter of blogging and move toward other projects. This decision comes after much consideration. I will be making a formal announcement sometime next week.
Thank you for a great run!

Amy,
I’m so disappointed to hear about your decision to wrap up Aqua-Velvet. I’ve really enjoyed your posts and have looked to your blog as a source of inspiration. As a dedicated blogger myself, I do understand the time and commitment that goes into keeping a high quality blog such as AQ-V going. I look forward to hearing of your new endeavors and wish you much success. I just wanted to let you know that AQ-V will be missed.
All the best,
Joanne Capella
