luluthecat Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just see the inside of the vinyl edition. They've chosen the least exciting imagine - shame. Also the discs are in plain paper dust sleeves again!! I swear Madonna is the only artist releasing vinyl in these generic dust sleeves. Every other modern vinyl makes the most the of the large dimensions, such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocco Papa Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Do you think the lyrics aren't printed in the booklet, because they had to rush the release and didn't want to print WRONG producers etc., because there were so many versions of several songs? That's an interesting theory. Maybe. But they should have the credits on Madonna.com by now if they're directing people there in the booklet.

ryan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think that is a possibility as the album was scheduled to come out in April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 mmmmm really?? they need so much time to type who authors, producers and musicians are? even if it was a full philarmonic orchestra..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelvvv Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 At this point I think it's probably more a royalty issue than anything. Either that or Live Nation dropped the ball when they revamped the website, which is not surprising considering all of the broken links and the still incorrect track list on madonna.com. The vinyl sticker directs people to madonna.com for the credits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He desperately needs a tutorial of how to properly design an art for an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luluthecat Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Preach!! He's not a bad designer. I feel he might be a better art director than graphic designer. He's created some incredible work for her. But I feel like he'd benefit from doing a little research into music packaging. His placement of type always looks incredibly slap-dash, I don't understand why he always squeezes the production into the last page in tiny font, in both the CD's and tour books?? Plus if you had Madonna as a client you wouldn't rush anything and stay up all night just to make sure it was absolutely perfect! .......Why repeat that same bloody brush stroke, it's really not challenging......... Hopefully one day she'll see the light and get Fabian Barron back in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattress Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 He's okay handling the main square image for a cover... he just does not know how to translate that to a fullblooded booklet. His biggest issue is text placement... this time he seemingly just gave up which is why we don't even get liner notes! And that goddamn repeated red streak behind the track titles throughout the booklets is currently the bane of my existence. I mean HONESTLY.

coco Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The imagery is GORGEOUS!! The black + red thematic works perfect for the album But like what Mattress said, Giovanni's design is lacking. I felt a bit underwhelmed when I opened up the booklet on the deluxe to see three song titles are lumped together on one page, repeating this, using the same red wash graphic. It didn't make sense It works better on the super deluxe But it's still lame that they use the same wash graphic It would have looked soooo much better in the booklet if they included the damn lyrics!!! Honestly, I said this about the super and standard covers, it seems a bit rushed. It's like he spent more time on the deluxe cover image and put less thought on the inner workings of the design I had high hopes He improved with the MDNA album and tour booklet I doubt she'll hire someone new Oh Fabien and Kevin Reagan, where art though? I totally agree. The titles would have appeared stronger without the red, I can also do without the 2 colored close ups as those pages don't flow too well with the rest.

HolidayGuy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So, packaging-wise, there really is no reason to own the standard edition? The image used as the cover (with the RH ink on her arm) is in the SD edition. Is there any image in the standard packaging not in the deluxe or SD editions? (I got the MDNA standard, which I don't recall if it had anything exclusive- but then again, there was no SD edition of MDNA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachprance Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 So I don't think anyone has uploaded HQ scans of the Super Deluxe artwork. I've grown to love it and the packaging and I figured I'd share. I scanned these at 600 DPI, feel free to download and use as DPs or whatever. You don't have to ask.
