Title: Vanessa Carlton next album cover?
Post by: Frenchdavid on October 27, 2006, 03:46:35 am
Hi guys,

I am david, French guy living in the UK.

My mate posted some artwork inspired from Vanessa's music on her official website and got good responses from the fans. I saw it and think it is a great way to connect between the artist and her public. I decided to write a blog and make something happen out of it.

You guys check it out and tell me what you think.

I really like both pictures. As for the first one I think I would've liked to see the image of the Harmonium cover not retain it's square shape, such as the obvious straight line on the top portion of it and have seen it blended more with the shape of the swirve.

And I really like the second picture a lot. It looks like all her thoughts and ideas are swelling out from her mind, creating almost a stream of consciousness effect, the unicorn is brilliant.

I could easily see this style of art used for promo work or website design. I'm not entirely sure about the use of it as an album cover however.

whouaa. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I think you are spot on.
I hope these will inspire more fans to share what they think and also it would be cool if we all started to have a chat together and get vanessa and her team notice.

I think it's pretty obvious that the image in question to be used for album artwork is the second image and not the Harmonium image. I mean, use some common sense. And even then I believe these images would just be used as the basis to create something entirely new with new promo shots of Vanessa, if this ever came to fruition I mean. At least that's what I gathered.

The person who created these images does need to give credit to the photographers who took the pictures of Vanessa though. He's taking someone else's work and embilishing on it with his own ideas. Which is cool, however, he can't take credit for work he didn't do, such as taking the actuall photographs.

And it seems to me that the people on this board are pretty uninterested in this thread. Whatever. Try getting in touch with Vanessa's agency if you really want to see this happen, or just send Irv Gotti a private message with links to the work on the official board, he seems to be hanging around there a lot as of late. *Shrugs*

whouaaa this is pretty direct but very accurate feedback though. Thanks for your comments. I don't think my friend wants to claim the right for the pic, he just got inspired to add illustration on it listening to V Harmonium album. Will keep an eye open for Irv Gotti. Cheers for your comments. D

... I think it's best if we let Vanessa decide what she wants her album cover to be.

please, don't discourage her from releasing her own artwork.

My thoughts exactly.... I would much rather have V choose what her album cover be :?
Title: agree
Post by: Frenchdavid on November 13, 2006, 12:12:32 am
Hey,

Agree with you totally. The idea is not for my mate to do the artwork on his own but to work with V to bring it to life.

It's really good.  :D  But I don't think it'll quite flow with the theme of the album.  :)

I know, it was just a joke about she signing with The Inc.   :)
