Title: Artwork Fails Post by: Slow In Brain on November 20, 2011, 11:40:20 PM We all know and appreciate our favourite pictures and album covers.
Is there anywhere or site that has all the artwork fails ? Did the art departments and designers get it right first time ? Did Dean Torrence submit other covers other than the final versions ? Title: Re: Artwork Fails Post by: buddhahat on November 21, 2011, 12:23:44 AM My guess is the fails never made it into the public domain, but I'd be interested to see any alternate covers too.
Title: Re: Artwork Fails Post by: Malc on November 21, 2011, 12:46:23 AM Don't think any alternative sleeves were designed but Dean told me that his initial title suggestion for the 'Love You' album was 'Cowabunga' !
"Because the guys were using the image of a native Indian in their Brother Records logo, I came up with something that looked like a Navajo rug. I actually designed around 80% of the cover while waiting for the title to be finalised. My title offering, "Cowabunga", was obviously not used, but the word looked like a native American word - and it was also related to surfing ..." www.pipeline-operaglass.moonfruit.com Title: Re: Artwork Fails Post by: phirnis on November 21, 2011, 12:51:56 AM "Cowabunga"? :lol Thank god that didn't happen!

How about Keeping The Summer Alive? Instrument plugs going nowhere...penguins and polar bears somehow cohabitating....
