The theme of our record album is the pains of growing up. We designed the cover of the album in a manner that would convey the meaning behind our theme. The central image on the cover is a picture of Holden smoking a cigarette. Holden’s shape is filled in with images of collages, that represent tones in the novel.

The back of the cover is a picture of Holden and Phoebe. This picture represents Holden’s obsession with preserving innocence and racing against time to stay as teenager. Phoebe is Hold
