Dude Ranch (album) band's name branded on its rear end, while the packaging is decorated by images of the band as cowboys on a "dude ranch". The gatefold packaging features a painting stating "Greetings from the Blink-182 Dude Ranch," which was intended to be a pastiche of both "cheesy postcards" and a parody of Bruce Springsteen's "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.". Art direction for the album was headed by Tim Stedman, with Stedman and graphic designer Ashley Pigford designing the package. The CD art, a revolver chamber, was designed by artist Victor Gastelum, while the band photography was done by Steven Shea. DeLonge
