Today’s mp3 generation will most probably know of album art only through that little thumbnail that appears on the iPod screen or at the corner of a media player. Now, an innovation from English designer Michael Kennedy has brought back the dying art of album illustrations and designs. The I-Deck is a retro touch screen music player that displays album art. Simply dock your iPod or mp3 player into the I-Deck’s base and use the touch screen as a scroll wheel. You can select, fast forward, skip, and play your tracks. Then watch as the display features your track’s album art. The I-Deck comes shaped as a post-modern gramophone, complete with a large loudspeaker. The design is minimalist akin to the stark, white configuration of the iPod.
