Noteworthy album covers of 2012

wtf at hamm's hand there

I'm finding that Mad Men pic to be incredibly haunting. Any context there? I know it's off-topic/mistake, but seriously I need answers.

that gossip cover is like bizarro http://onetinyhand.com/

One Tiny Hand is horrifying.

That Mad Men picture would make a great Storm Thorgerson cover for the next Umphrey's McGee album, I Can Barely Hold My Drink.

i dunno where that mad men pic came from originally. random promo image, i suppose? agree w MFB that it's haunting, very well composed and lit, but yeah, the one tiny hand concept kind of creeps me out.

new Peaking Lights

Is that an animated gif? I was wondering recently if anyone had used one for an album cover yet.

it's linked from pfork, not sure if the gif properties reflect something that the actual cover will do or if they're just animating it for shits'n'giggles

ha, just noticed the witch house triangle on there. i guess they must be hanging with CREEP a lot.

did anyone explain John Hamm's creepy hand yet?

Might just be my computer but that gif is a bit clunky eh?

no you're right, it's not very good

hamm hand was from a photoshop blog called onetinyhand

linked upthread

oh okay, i skimmed that post and thought it was in reference to the gossip cover. that is a horrifying site.

I think the gif is made from still photos, so it couldn't be made fluid.

i'm not a graphics person, i don't have reason to know that shit

no peace for him even in the afterlife ;_;

God, Mickey is such a dork.

amongst all the other wrongs in play, it looks just like she's queefed a cabbage

haha well that's pretty much what you'd think an r stevie moore/ariel pink jawn would look like

Too fonty.

LOOKS
FUCKING
STUPID

Yeah, I love a good typography cover. Someone let them know that's not one.

wow that pink/moore cover is quite bold

When you uninvert the colours in that Ariel Pink cover, it actually looks pretty cool (except for the Yin Wang thing):

NSFW, obviously

Why couldn't they have just used the original instead of the arty inverted one?

"Yin Yang"

lol
