Ola, everyone. You can take any album cover you wish, maybe the cover of your most favorite album(s), and use Paint or whatnot and invert the colors. For instance, here is mine:  Doesn't that just remind you of "Birds of Fire"  ?What's your work

In paint, select the whole thing (try using Ctrl+A), and only then right-click with the mouse and choose Invert Color.

Awesome. To me Kid A, Tago Mago, and the Crimson King look like the winners . The King looks like it is staring into space out of its optical-orbital depth.
