Yellow Regret Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Maybe I'm strange but I really don't find this that important. Well we do. But how do you know if it's original or not? Maybe he made this first and the exo artwork was made after his work rather than the other way round True, but it has a later publishing date and I don't think La Boca would be very likely to steal someone elses work. I'm a bit pissed off that I haven't got a reply from NS though, I'm just curious to see their response and even if they knew of the similarites.

Hey, hating on Muse (which has apparently become trendy now ) is just as important as say the BP oil spill disaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, but I'm not great with wording these things Absolutely nothing on this message board, apart from maybe an occasional discussion in Current Affairs, is important. :LOL: THIS.

Tofu Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Wired magazine has some amazing artwork And it wasn't La Boca It was a man called Jeff Huang, he has a portfolio here but this picture which he did for another publication may be of interest: :stunned: Maybe I'm strange but I really don't find this that important. Neither do I. But I'm still interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter_Moonchild Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It's from the next edition (28/08/10). That's the biggest image available at the moment. It's pretty blatant... They did something similar a few months ago. I'll try and find the pic I took of my mag. It looked like one of the other resistance images but it was placed over a pic of the Hadron Collider. EDIT: Here it is. Not quite as blatant but still it popped up a few weeks after the album art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 That's the most shameless rip-off I've ever seen ... looks like one of the design/art editor peoples just changed a few colours and planets around and whacked it onto the cover... even the background colour's the same as Exo! ...
