The Secret cover is similar to all those bland American artist covers. Everyone and their mom's done it. Mariah Carey did it in 05.

I would say it looks similar to this one




but i love them!

Well, IMO, the worst you can get for CD covers are Hikki's..

They're all her face.. :<

Hikki's covers are classic. They're just face, becouse she doesn't need to show any flashy clothes or anything, it's about her music - while Ayu's always been a 'full package' product, not just the music, but the clothes, nails, rings and all that crap as well, that's why she has to show herself off.

And that upper similar cover - is that Hilary Duff?

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..

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

Red face

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)...

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.

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 .
