avex often hires different freelancer designers/studios to create stuff for the artists. I have a friend that she's a freelance designer for avex so she have made stuff for different artists (she even did a video for one of Ayu's CDL). But each artist have a different management and creative team so the process/involvement is completely different from one to the other.
What bothers me about her "design team" is the lack of good taste. Everything looks very poorly made. It's not even minimal/simple design is just lame af. When we compare her visual identity to Namie's or Kumi's it looks so damn amateur. Namie's creative team was such amazing for the last years and Kumi have been doing pretty good lately too. So it bothers me, as a graphic designer and fan, that Ayu's designs are so bad.
