And that upper similar cover - is that Hilary Duff?

nope its A Little More Personal (Raw) by Lindsay Lohan. It's her second album.

[truehappiness]

Yeah, but sometimes it is..

traveling for example.
-smacks Kaz for being so amazing-

[truehappiness]

I thought that was Lindsay.. but.. WOW. O_O~

[Dustie]

She looks like Hilary Duff to me... really...

And I loved traveling cover! the colours, the mess... i really liked it.

[truehappiness]

Exactly. It was a really flashy cover.

Whereas Hikari was like.. Hikki. LOL

[simonlau]

i dont know what is that 生(raw) for
shi is a sushi lover??

[truehappiness]

The album cover art features red lettering on Lohan's back representing the Chinese character "生" (Pinyin: shèng; Cantonese: Säng), which denotes "raw"; there are several other meanings depending on context, including "living" and "giving birth". [2]

I guess the album was to be more 'personal' aka raw..

haven't given that sign any deep thoughts but after that.... whatever, that album is her best but she isn't doing her best to make high sales. little sad about it.

[simonlau]

obliviously i understand chinese charaters as a chinese
but it sounds really weird in chinese as a point of view of a chinese
does she know what does that mean in chinese
if no, go study chinese

emm... i think they can omit the stars in the cd+dvd version...
nontheless i think it would be abit empty for the cd cover if they didnt put the stars there...


anyway, this photoshop is still far better than the love sign in miss understood


ayu forever~~

hmm.. I don't exactly LOVE those sparkles either ...my versions would propably look like this:
version one:

or maybe this:

or this one: *fav*


I really think that the original "sparkles" are looking somewhat unprofessional ..not that MINE look professional, *cough* but...)

...and this font they were using !!! If it wouldn't be already official I would guess this was done by a kid (playing with Microsoft Word for example)...

[simonlau]

i love the last one
gorgeous!
have you noticed that 14 sparkles = 14 tracks (maybe)

thank you ^_^ ...well, then there should be also 14 sparkles on the cover for the CD/DVD-Version, or not? And there are a lot more... o_O;

@ayu_fan: you think so? thank you XD;; *blushes*

@immel: XD ah, well.. I should have drawn unicorn-wings ...my first idea was that those wings should swish out from her tatoo but it's a bit difficult with her hair in the way o_O; ...but editing this was lot of fun XD!

That's a really neat idea, but yeah, it does sound hard. By the way, unicorns have horns, Pegasus have got wings .

I think you should have given her a horn, too .

Your fonts and the sparkles look a lot better than the ones avex used.

[immel]

Very nice work Alanchan, while I think your pictures are awesome I don't think that putting wings on Ayumi is very complementing, hehe. I like your first version best as a cover, but the 3rd version is so pretty.

[ruixiong89]

Ooo ... they're nice! Haha, but I think the wings look a little out of place. I think the sparkles were fine, but Avex OVERDID it. Yours looks MUCH nicer than that URGH version. And they were definitely CHEAP on the font.

Thumbs down again for Avex. I don't know how many times I've said this but Avex really deserves to get shot for having artistic directors like that.

I think so, too!

... hm, a very nice idea could have been the word "Secret" handwritten by Ayu *_*;;...

(sorry if my english isn't perfect XD;; )

@immel: *lol* ...by the way, after I looked at this unicorn for 10min. - and as an artist myself - I think they could have done Ayu's tatoo a whole LOT better ..I like only the "A" o_O

I like the style that they used for creating it, it's not supposed to be extremely detailed, nor does it seem to follow any exact anatomical or physical laws, but the overall style that was used I find to be very artistic. I'd love to see a picture of the entire tattoo.

[extepan]

i think the sparkles are fine too. yes they overdid it, but it is still ok.
