Ashley Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Steel Train wins artwork of the year for me. There's just so much to absorb. Kanye moans about his being censored but its so tiny! It seems self-censored in some regard. Joanna Newsom's is obviously worse. Lame font is lame.
Paj! Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 "Lame Font" works really well with the image. And as a statement, It's nice to see a cover so direct with it's text. Kanye's album cover is stunning since it's clear he knew the album is great, so he got rid of that shitty cartoon bear and got decent art/designs. The worst album cover I've been exposed to this year is: It's disgusting. Considering the obvious effort to create interesting covers for their other albums. This looks like an afternoon playing with felt in the garden, then a quick play around on GIMP.
Ashley Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 No no. Newson's is crap. Its the big black border as well. The main image is fine but the rest just looks GIMP made. Or should I say Newson's is most ruined by a cheaply/lazily produced aspect rather than being completely shit?
Ramar Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Or should I say Newson's is most ruined by a cheaply/lazily produced aspect rather than being completely shit? Nah you were right on the money when you just called it shit.
James Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 After googling Joanna Newsom's album cover, they are both crap, the one Paj posted just takes it though on the general basis that's what album artwork I created would look like if I had GIMP. The lack of effort in Joanna Newsom's is staggeringly as bad though.
The Bard Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Ramar, with your A7X pimpage, you've lost the right to declare anything to do with Newsom "shit," or pretty much anyone else for that matter.. That said, the cover isn't great

nightwolf Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I think I discovered quite a few new bands this year, mostly through my friends. Iron and wine are my best of 2010, his gorgeous voice! Hopefully going to see him this year. I also got massively into Mumford & sons. Mogwai, Bon Iver. I also loved most of Lady Gaga's stuff, Rihanna's last two albums, Linkin Park's new album I actually like after slating it. Katy Perry's last album was good. There's been so many >.<
