Hard Format is a site for people, who love coverartworks and graphics, related to music. It is a collection of extraordinary works from the past and the present. They say about themselves:
It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design. That means we’re going to focus on records, CDs, cassettes and their like. However, Hard Format isn’t intended to become a dusty museum devoted exclusively to past glories, though there’ll certainly be some of that, we also want to highlight the brilliant new design work being produced right now.

Let’s face it. Musik and artworks is a wonderful marriage. Music always kept pushing graphics and vice versa. That’s the good thing about Hard Format: The era of the artwork is not finished. In times, where musicfiles can reduced to just filenames, artworks at least ideally should play an important role again.
