Def Leppard - Pyromania - 1983
Airfix brought in Bernard Gudynas, an illustrator specializing in futuristic designs. They sketched out ideas, including a magnified section of an exploding building.
The illustration is also contained within a black border which smoke could pour onto; creating a further dimension to the design. The magnified section implicates a viewer – you. And the details of the explosion suggest you used a weapon that is much bigger than a riffle. A rocket launcher, perhaps?
(After the 9/11 attacks, the band admitted that the first thing they thought of when they saw the World Trade Center on fire was Pyromania's cover)
