I've been looking through the thread at the covers and I'm just not into them at all.
Outfit: 8/10 | Pose: 2/10 | Background: 3/10 | Text: 2/10 | Composition: 1/10
I like the outfit but the pose is just ugh for me. She’s just standing there doing nothing. I didn’t really dig the CD covers of Rule/Sparkle but the poses were dynamic. Here she’s sort of like in mid-pose. Where is the image to attract my eyes? She looks like she’s waiting on instruction, not posing for a photoshoot!
I’m also not a fan of the bronzed-up barbie doll look. Give her a tan, fair enough. She can’t go to the beach and look pasty, but they way overdid it with the shopping of her abs and the light on her body.
It just looks so blah, and the composition is, yet again, bizarre at best. Why did she even fly to Bali to shoot on what looks like a fake background anyway? I say that I was hoping for something like UNITE! or INSPIRE’s cover where she looked natural.
The text is also hard to read. Why put white writing against a light background? And while the font looks ok, it’s just not ‘enough’ for a cover. Maybe if Ayu had the title photoshop-tattooed across her arms or something it would look better, but from here I just can’t see it.
I guess I can say that I was expecting a bigger bang for the buck here. Ayu looks gorgeous, she’s always pretty on her covers, but Shi-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has proven again that he's completely unable to compile photographs! Ayu just looks like some kind of brown blob on an overly-highlighted generic beach scene which is supposed to be Bali!
On the upside, her hair pretty. It’s like the NL style but the “beach version” of it xD And the CD+DVD picture is marginally better!
