A square beige record cover design on paper for J.S. Bach, The Suites for Orchestra, with a minimalist design featuring a stacked and balanced group of three parallel rectangles in gray, orange and blue containing printed text in various fonts in contrasting colors. The top rectangle is the largest; it is dark gray, and contains the composer’s name J.S. Bach in a bold, white, classic capitalized serif. A narrow orange rectangle placed off-center in the middle of the two larger rectangles appears to balance the large gray rectangle above with the less large blue rectangle below. On the orange rectangle “The Suites For Orchestra”, appear in a crisp, thin, serif font in all caps. The bottom rectangle is light blue, with the designer Lustig’s name signed in black handwritten script perpendicular in the upper right corner. There are also three rows of content and player information in a traditional white serif font: on row one, Number one in C major (italicized), on row two, Number Two in B minor (italicized) Jean-Pierre Rampal (non-italicized), Flute (italicized), and on row three, The Hewitt Orchestra (all caps non-italicized); and a row of black text slightly above the bottom with the copyright symbol and the words Hayden Collection (all caps)/Collection Discophiles Francais HSL-90 Record 1 of Two Records (italicized).
