I don't think, though, that they consciously degrade it. Designers get off big time on making clients happy.

Re: Covering Album Covers
Certainly, one can take pride in any work but in denying this work for hire as somehow not art requires a certain compartmentalization and likely creation of hierarchy. It really doesn't matter what form of artistic expression you're talking about, the modernist (or folk) problem persists—can expression be art if it's tied up with capitalism? Those who say no inevitably get tied up in all kinds of knots rationalizing and the like. Those who say yes risk coming off as cynical art whores. The rock v. pop conflict is centred on this, with rock going thru all those silly rationalizations to being authentic yet also populist and not in any way crassly commercial. There's a fantastic essay by a fellow named Keir Keightley that explores that crazy dynamic that has infected rock since the 60s, if you're interested.Kory wrote: ↑31 Oct 2017, 5:43pmI don't think, though, that they consciously degrade it.

I think what it boils down to is they would say art is for looking at, design is for informational purposes. Function follows form, rather than the other way 'round.

It really is a fine summary of the ideological absurdities that rockism established to claim a folk authenticity while enjoying the material trappings of pop.
Which is to say, the modernist credo of art for art's sake.I think what it boils down to is they would say art is for looking at, design is for informational purposes. Function follows form, rather than the other way 'round.

Re: Covering Album Covers
Here's another one I like, a clearly retro design with aging built into the image. Overly clever or not?

Re: Covering Album Covers
I like it with its 60's retro feel. Not sure about red band at the top. Can't really see the point of that as the typography is also a very similar colour.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Nov 2017, 4:24pmHere's another one I like, a clearly retro design with aging built into the image. Overly clever or not?

Re: Covering Album Covers
Perhaps the retro faux authenticity? That is, the label they were seeking to imitate might have done that for all their sleeves. Just a guess, tho.Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Nov 2017, 4:34pmI like it with its 60's retro feel. Not sure about red band at the top.

Yeah it might have been something where you're flipping through all the LPs and you see a bunch of colored bands across the top of a group—"Oh it's X label!"Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Nov 2017, 4:41pmPerhaps the retro faux authenticity?
