It seems Ayu's team throws everything and the kitchen sink at logos and overdoes them but often go too simple for cd covers without much thought for font, mood and the opportunity for background scenery...

yeah the logos were really well done i really liked them both too!

Sorry for the negativity. Though I am so happy to see people being inspired again. Fan art had been off for a long time.

well to each their own. Even though there's really very minimal styling an photoshoping in this appart from the background. I am not a fan of overdoing things myself, i don't use topaz on my works unless i have a poor quality photo to work with. I do make things more complicated though since i've been making photomanipulations more, than simple stuff. BUT let me tell you that i have seen photographs that are increadibly artistic and detailed yet right and would work for covers, however Ayu doesn't have those kind of people on her team so we're probably getting something like usual - a studio shot with bad typography. We will be very very lucky if we get anything like You were.../BALLAD in terms of a photo..as for the typography... there isn't many examples in her career where they got that right. There isn't a need to go all the way, but her team realy needs to put a bit more effort and thought in everything they do regarding covers. there are a lot of simple ones out there that don't look fancy but has right amount of effort put into them. Just 40% more of what they do now and they could get something nice!

i like those covers more as well, i did like the laying down ones too! they were pretty, the text looked better on the blue ones though.
Also that building i used in the background is Château de Chambord in France. An enormous and breathtakingly beautiful piece of French Renaissance architecture. It would make a gorgous backdrop for a photoshoot to someone like Ayu.
