Trolsk Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 eh? 306659[/snapback] Last week I started a topic about stupid covers, this week it's a topic about good covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 The first one is really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinos Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Now come on, the first cover is as bad as the one with the alien from the other topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 You know what the differenc between those covers is (as much as I can tell?): The alien cover looks like cheap made with photoshop, this one is like drawn from sketch. So I guess you can't really compare them. I also like the alien cover btw. but not as much as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawranceTaylor Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hey Trolsk, we had this subject already. stop to discuss anything about design. You just came up with stuff, you can bring it to your first topic (bad cd covers). One thing is really bad, the first cover with the dragon tube. The dragon is originally done already 15 years ago by a great graffiti artist called WON from ABC crew. The cover you show here is just a bad copy of the masterpiece. Same as cheap as your comments about design… so stop it for ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 stop to discuss anything about design. so stop it for ever! 306866[/snapback] What kind of ridiculous statement is that ? Leave the guy to post here whatever he wants while is normal topic... Do you have some personal unfixed stuff with him so you have to bash him now or you are just some vain person that can't stand someone's opinions ?

Dragonflier Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Excuse me, but I think that first cover is ridiculous. The second one is pretty cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed we are not allowed to discuss design because we are not professionals (see the "stupid covers" thread). I've already explained why we are allowed, you never replied. You did however make a private reply to me where you confessed that you are "no artist in music or design". So judging by your own argument you are not allowed to comment these covers either. This kind of argument is really absurd. Most people on this forum are neither designers nor musicians still are view on music and design is valid. This is your second post to this forum and in both posts you tell as what we are allowed to write about, or in this case what we're not allowed to write about. I really do not think you're in a position where you can tell any of us what to do. Feel free to supply some arguments why we are not allowed to discuss design and we might listen to you, but until then you are just a Trancelucent troll as far as I'm conserned. Bye!

moni Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Squaremeat cover is pretty wicked and funny and colorful and attracts the eye. i think it's a good cover. that's a hard-to-forget one. the second cover is "classic" boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 If the squaremeat cover is based on a known grafitti design, then that's a bummer because it's a really neat cover, one of those you can look at for a really long time and that I imagine goes well with their music =) The second one is very stylish, and has decent typography as well, which is extremely uncommon in this genre...

moni Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 should you be posting it if it's unreleased? maybe its not even official or final cover, which means you'd be spreading lies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawranceTaylor Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's o.k. Moni when you know the guys who did the music, but the image idea for the squaremeat cover is stolen and is also not good executed. If you look on the image above, this is one of WONs Tubedragons (just a smal detail). You can watch them in many countrys sprayed on huge walls. They got power and color! The cover is just a cheap imitation of the ABC Styles. Me personally is a good friend to the ABC crew and also a former old-school writer and i tell you it's not o.k. to steal another peples ideas. The second cover shown above is o.k., but definetly nothing special only beacause of it's minimalistic style. It fits rather to housemusic or something else. But it's no trance or chiilout design. The new one in this topic "voice of cod" is really cute in comparance to the rest, that was posted in this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's o.k. Moni when you know the guys who did the music, but the image idea for the squaremeat cover is stolen and is also not good executed. It's stolen cos it also has a train? Which by the way is sort of like a fish.. unlike in the pic you posted. I fail to see any "stealing" going on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 LawranceTaylor, that's not nearly similar enough to be considered a rip-off. You're obviously too biased in this to see that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moni Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 @ LawranceTaylor The pic you posted is just a cheap imitation of this WHAT A FUCKING RIP OFF! 307277[/snapback] hahahahahahaha crazy same here. i don't see anything stolen in Squaremeat's cover. maybe the person who did the cover has seen ABC works before. but i only see some small coincidence in the 2 pictures. Squaremeat cover is really a cover, complex, and tells me much more than LawranceTaylor's picture. they are so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawranceTaylor Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I told you it's just a smal detail of a mural going for 15 meters, the detail shown here doesn't show the rest of the image, so how can you say it has no coincidence? They have done exactly this kind of surrounding for at least 5 times. The guy who made the cover is just a BITER, and nothing else. Everybody involved in Grafiti or Design would say the same, exept he is stealing other peoples ideas himself. o.k.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinos Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Shut up already, it's obvious the cover is at least very inspired by what the guy posted. Thus not very original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
