Hasn’t he got lovely hair? Might have overdone it on the old lip-gloss, though…

#428

Might have overdone the Botox on one side of his face.

Wow, thats bad. Quite like the typography but everything else is so cheesy, even if he’s going for cheese its not working.

Theyre both actual good artwork, so it doesnt count.

#438

What doesn’t count… laughing at funny things?

#439

They dont count as examples of the worst artwork of 2018. Theyre funny, but not in a bad way.

#440

Something like the Jack White one will always be worse because it is obviously meant seriously and has probably had a lot of money spent on it. I agree with you about Arp Frique - it’s obviously meant to be funny. Not sure about Little Dragons though. I think that might be just, you know, ‘bad’

A lot of these I still genuinely like, and a few are legit clever and/or good. But the Jack White album is the most egregious of the bad simply because an artist with his cachet, the biggest name in the thread (sorry Van M) who must have near complete control over the aesthetics of his releases these days, should have looked at that artwork and said ‘nah fam’.

It’s easily the worse for me. A lot of the others actually achieve what they were after (even if that is to be deliberately disgusting or ‘whacky’ or a weak pastiche) or are just unimaginative and bland. With the Jack White one it’s not only appallingly executed but there is not even a trace of a halfway worthwhile idea behind it. It’s just awful, especially for an artist that used to have such a distinctive visual sense. The image of The White Stripes was so powerful and well thought out, especially at the start. What happened to him?

Ah… no I agree, they’re not the worst just a wee bit silly

Also I’ve just realised it looks like I was the original poster of these. They appear further up thread, posted by other users. I was showing her the whole thread and having a good laugh at a fair few
