3 OH!3'S STREET OF GOLD

Designers Nichola Motte and Anderw Kimmell's, they had design the best album cover art of 2010.

The hand gesture is the band symbol (303) very nice right!
and the golden skin was to resemble the streets of gold.

U of I print shop

This is an example of an old letter press machine at the University of Illinois that is not in use anymore; however, I have been told that they use it some time to make honorary doctor certificate.
I think it is fascinating to learn about how hard it use to be to print.
