CBS/Atlantic Records

In 1972, Scher jumped into the belly of popular culture; as art director for CBS and Atlantic Records in New York City. While at CBS she designed approximately 150 album covers a year, and produced innumerable ads and posters. During her decade in the record industry, Scher made work that was accessible but smart. She collaborated with illustrators and photographers to interpret music in suggestive, poetic ways—she preferred to invoke a mood or stage a mysterious scenario than provide literal depictions of bands and performers.
