Can Prince get a new Graphic designer SOON!!

Seriously dudes, just looking at the new graphic with the globe, the corset [!], the air brushed face etc isn't it about time that P looked somewhere new for Inspiration. The TRC cover was a move in the right direction BUT on the whole his album covers, publicity shots etc have lacked so much imagination and for an artist like him it is such a shame.

it looks like a slapped-together teaser image, which i guess is exactly what it is. if this is actual album art, then...ehhh... disbelief

I wholeheartedly agree nod

He's got like 3 good album covers out of 30+ albums.

I agree.

I was amazed that Prince's album covers were designed as beautifully as the music itself. I honestly had no idea.

fair point and one to be filed under the 'WTF did he do that for' pile. Thing is if he were presented with better ideas he may open up a little. Remember the coffee table photo book from '96 [?], some really great shots in there. Just seems to be another part of his game that has wilted over the last 10 years.

kinda the same deal with the 'prince in hawaii' book. it wasn't the GREATEST layout of all times, but it was an interesting peek into prince's life, and with a little bit more push i'm sure it would have gotten some decent attention and maybe some better sales. looking back on that book, i'm kinda like "why did that happen???" lol

glad it did, though. it's a fun little collectible. just like the 'sacrifice of victor' book.
