I DID NOT DO THIS COVER...

but is there really any graphic talent to this? i mean after they are done w/ the photo shoot what did they do to make this?

 

[OverDoze]

Half the time when doing an album cover for a major release that is mainstream the designer does a few minor photo touch ups then album layout, no design is really needed.

 

[EvilWayz]

how much you think the designer got for doin that? probally some crazy amount

 

[Gordon Gekko]

couldnt have took no more than 5 minutes

ya the only time consuming thing i can think of is photo touch ups and removing blemishes or color tone probs w/ her skin or something...

Well the designers most likely work under the label, also the artist is the main focus of the product so they showcase that, regardless, especially if its a female.

But yeah, you can say it's unfair, I'm sure there are many talented designers who diserve top spots and don't have them but it's who you know not what you know.

 

[OverDoze]

Even though it is simple I would say that the designer still took about 2 hours on the photo touch-up (depending on the equip used by the photographer) So whoever did it still put in work I'm sure.

It can take a lot of time to get the 'right' picture. Photography is not just taking pictures, it is an art as well.

my thing is...i dont think the photographer and the designer were involved...like the head of art direction for the label was at the shoot and they picked the pics that best fit...then chose the 'cover shot' and then gave that to the designer...
