Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Monday, 26 March 2012 08:53 (fourteen years ago)

It's really ugly and a really old idea, but that sort of stuff still fascinates the shit out of my eyeballs.

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Monday, 26 March 2012 08:55 (fourteen years ago)

yup

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Monday, 26 March 2012 09:10 (fourteen years ago)

its like they just dont see it the same as the rest of us eg. the last lady gaga album cover ..

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.

One Tiny Hand is horrifying.

Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Monday, 26 March 2012 21:02 (fourteen years ago)

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.

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

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 15:04 (fourteen years ago)

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

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 21:20 (fourteen years ago)

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.
