>>65457467

>>
>>65457382
/mu/ just think that if a cover looks minimalist or "super-modern" (we're not even in the modern era anymore) it's good.

Undercurrent's use of space feels off-key.
Laced Odyssey feels like an uninspired maximalist piece off DeviantArt.
OK Computer's artwork is just Donwood fucking around with stamps with minimal correlation to the contents of the albums itself, the inserts worked way better.
Purity Ring is the worst one. Using gradients is like stabbing yourself in the eye for no reason, and it also looks like a cheap PS job.
Using illegible Times New Roman on marble is sooo fancy, dude. I bet it's a pretentious hip-hop album cover.
Kid A is ditto above but by Yorke. Failed art + CGI merging.
Spectre is, again, Donwood fucking around with his bright textureshit and what looks like water... no correlation.
>>65457288 looks like absolute cancer, not even bothering to use google to know what the fuck that is.
Philip Glass with glass on the cover? Seriously? I don't think the orchestra even uses glass bells on that record.
Soulwax is a saturated and already overused design. Tracking Device feels poorly produced rather than artsy.

>inb4 someone says cover quality is subjective, autismo, etc.
Style is subjective, but no matter what, you can still fuck your shit up.

>>
>>65457593
Thanks. Gradient is something that many say was already outdated when people started using it, but it's actually just self-destructive. There's nothing natural in that and it just fucks itself up, the only situation in which a gradient is acceptable is when you need to portray light, shiny things or air. Too bad nobody reminds themselves of that and they use it everywhere for no reason. Even the top of this webpage has a gradient, and it's inversed. As if the top of 4chan was more 4chan than the bottom of 4chan.
