Shaun 0 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 How amazing is this? Sara, a member of M’s team, posted this for her birthday. Look at the different aesthetic options for the cover/booklet/disc that surround them! Madonna is so involved in her art, right down to its visual presentation. Check out the array of font treatments and designs that were considered. Nothing is by accident with Madonna. The cover art we were presented with is 100% her vision!

Shaun 0 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Notice how in one of the concepts, the word "MADAME" is written across her face while the only thing on her lips is the letter "X". So fascinating to see this little peek into the creative review. Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun 0 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 I love that the image with the typewriter didn't even include the track list at this point in the process. And I'd kill to read what all those yellow Post-It notes say! Or what M is looking at on her phone... Link to post Share on other sites

cocolattee 0 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 this is amazing! a great insight on the artistic creation of the artwork.... interesting that the purple lips thing is nowhere to be seen so it was either scrapped early on or it was just fan fiction Link to post Share on other sites

insilico 0 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Oh yes, this just proves how much the whole project is so Madonna and how it ended up being such a fantastic album with matching visuals. Link to post Share on other sites

But if you mean the rumor about that being on the cover art ... yes, you’re right, that seems to be fan fiction. Makes me wonder what those lips were for, now that you bring that up! I had forgotten about those glittery purple lips. 6 hours ago, Je5u5 said: So she was involved in the design of the Rainbow edition Couldn’t that be the other side of the “I Rise” 7” vinyl?

the-queen 0 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 7 hours ago, MamboDoesItBetter said: Truly awesome to see M at work. A true testament to her devotion to detail. It’s her name on the album, it’s her tour and her brand. M has never lost sight of that. She has a true artistic vision for these songs and albums, so obviously without her there’s nothing, and our lives are drab and depressing. So thank you Madonna. Natural creativity and years of industry experience created Madame X. Link to post Share on other sites
