RICE MOMOYA also did the original A logo and such along with a ton of album artwork for other artists)

Here's one of the studios that avex and a bunch of other companies have work from. |
I have no idea who designs the covers, but its not just Ayu or avex, its J-pop in general. Compare the album-art designs (not the photo in itself) with K-Pop! K-pop has a much higher quality in general. Advertising in Japan is a very.. special.. thing.. I wrote an essay on it not long ago; trying to find out why its so different from the rest of the world. This also affects how albums and everything look like. Japanese text work is still in the 90s

But does anyone read their posts before posting? A lot of you guys are so filled with hatred, I just can't believe what I'm reading. This release isn't in any way life-changing, so why are you so full of anger? At the end of the day I don't think something that trivial is worth it to rant over it the last few hours.

Overreacting like usual
It will calm down in a week or so. I just think people had A LOT OF BIG expectations for this album.
