but i love them!

^ yeah similar hehe

eventhough it is like one of those bland American covers i still like it, just better than m(u) xD

Well, IMO, the worst you can get for CD covers are Hikki's..

They're all her face.. :<

Hikki's covers are classic. They're just face, becouse she doesn't need to show any flashy clothes or anything, it's about her music - while Ayu's always been a 'full package' product, not just the music, but the clothes, nails, rings and all that crap as well, that's why she has to show herself off.

And that upper similar cover - is that Hilary Duff?

Yeah, but sometimes it is.. :P

traveling for example.
-smacks Kaz for being so amazing-

nope its A Little More Personal (Raw) by Lindsay Lohan. It's her second album.

I thought that was Lindsay.. but.. WOW. O_O~

She looks like Hilary Duff to me... really...

And I loved traveling cover! the colours, the mess... i really liked it.

Exactly. It was a really flashy cover.

Whereas Hikari was like.. Hikki. LOL

i dont know what is that 生(raw) for
shi is a sushi lover?? :D

I guess the album was to be more 'personal' aka raw.. :o

haven't given that sign any deep thoughts but after that.... whatever, that album is her best but she isn't doing her best to make high sales. little sad about it.

obliviously i understand chinese charaters as a chinese
but it sounds really weird in chinese as a point of view of a chinese
does she know what does that mean in chinese
if no, go study chinese

emm... i think they can omit the stars in the cd+dvd version...
nontheless i think it would be abit empty for the cd cover if they didnt put the stars there...


anyway, this photoshop is still far better than the love sign in miss understood


ayu forever~~

hmm.. I don't exactly LOVE those sparkles either :thud ...my versions would propably look like this:
version one:

or maybe this:

or this one: *fav*

I really think that the original "sparkles" are looking somewhat unprofessional ..not that MINE look professional, *cough* but...)

...and this font they were using :no !!! If it wouldn't be already official I would guess this was done by a kid (playing with Microsoft Word for example)... :dead2

i love the last one
gorgeous!
have you noticed that 14 sparkles = 14 tracks (maybe):D

Your fonts and the sparkles look a lot better than the ones avex used. :)

Very nice work Alanchan, while I think your pictures are awesome I don't think that putting wings on Ayumi is very complementing, hehe. I like your first version best as a cover, but the 3rd version is so pretty.

thank you ^_^ ...well, then there should be also 14 sparkles on the cover for the CD/DVD-Version, or not? And there are a lot more... o_O;

@ayu_fan: you think so? thank you XD;; *blushes*

@immel: XD ah, well.. I should have drawn unicorn-wings ...my first idea was that those wings should swish out from her tatoo :headache but it's a bit difficult with her hair in the way o_O; ...but editing this was lot of fun XD!

That's a really neat idea, but yeah, it does sound hard. By the way, unicorns have horns, Pegasus have got wings ;).

I think you should have given her a horn, too :D.
