Raiga Kagekami Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 To all the people saying the reddish tint sucks.. no it does not. How original would it be for them to simply choose black.. because black is so cool and looks great in anything amirite?! And it isn't as if Muse would be parodying themselves with the dark/space theme and everything! Seriously that would be boring and predictable. And yes I like the grey background for TR. But if it looks good then I don't get what's your argument. That black is mainstream? Or that black has been used by Muse too many times? Beauty's in the eye of the beholder anyway. And I like the grey background for TR's album art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khoaki Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Black is so often viewed as the cool/badass colour to a point where it's become rather uninteresting. And especially considering the common themes of this band's music, it would be so typical of a decision. I think the band knows this and that's why they decided against choosing it for the TR cover and why they're doing the same with this one. It seems like a lot of people don't see why they couldn't have just gone with plain black but I think the reason is pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 they decided against choosing it for the TR cover and why they're doing the same with this one. aren't they using the black background? that's what seems to be the real one, since it's on the main page and it already has the logo and text on it...

Mechagodzilla Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Out of interest, I thought I'd invert the colours just to see how they'd look. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much but I think the brain itself looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Cool story. Anyways, boredomdorebomboredom. Can someone teach me how to resize images? yeah, it could've been at least something like this. this way, it has some sort of an effect added to it, it's edited in some way, so it almost doesn't seem like a complete ripoff.

Peter. Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 But on the other hand the font isn't great and the exposure is way to intense well, the font could symbolize Survival's shitty lyrics, and I'm sure the album will be pretty intense. so wats ya point?!

Raiga Kagekami Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 That it looks bad. I liek it bright and vibrant. But yeah there is a reason why I made a "less brighter version" 'cause I foresaw some people who'd like it to be not so bright. Was choosing in between the two, opted for the brighter one. As for the font, I'm just bad at choosing fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiga Kagekami Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not bad considering you did it on an iPod The recent images were touch ups on my laptop, plus the text and all that, so it's not just through an iPhone app. (Never seen a proper image editing app yet.) ...I really need to get back to studying.

kueller Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I actually quite like the the bright image. I think an animated version would look cool on the live screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiga Kagekami Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The problem is that with such a vibrant image, I don't think it'll fit with the themes of The 2nd Law. If it were an album like In Rainbows, it would be more appropriate. But then Muse are not Radiohead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
