I like her hair, but the effects on their face (esp. their eyes :ohno: ) is actually kind of scary.

Honestly...i don't like them as much as the other promo pictures. Gaga looks like a doll, like made of wax or something...

I preferred the black & white picture... It was more worthy of an album cover.

The picture is cute, but they look way too smooth. And the shot has nothing really striking... I'm not feeling it.

i think they simply colored a black-and-white pic and thats the reason why some of you say that they look like wax figures. most likely the whole photoshoot was done in b&w

Is not a mistake. It was her intention for it to look old styled. You not liking something does not mean that she is making mistakes.

 

It was? Did she say this?

 

To be honest, it doesn't look old. They didn't have brightness, saturation and contrast dials for photographs in the 1930s.

I'm going to preface my opinion on this album cover by stating the postive thoughts I have about this project so that I don't get accused of being an overly negative, whiney, asshole. I'm thrilled that Gaga is finally releasing a jazz record. I'm very happy she is collaborating with Tony. I think the title of the record is adroable. The song choices so far have been great. From what we have heard her vocals sound divine. That being said...

 

This is an awful album cover. For most consumers it wont matter, but for those of us who appreciate graphic design this album cover is an abomination. The photoshop on their faces is obviously excessive, her affinity for fake looking digital newspaper is going a little to far, the typeface on the Delux Edition (aka the Make More Money Edition) looks fan made, but worst of all it's boring. It's truly an uninspired album cover.

 

Why not take a risk and use the Annie Leibovitz nude shot of them together as the cover? But it will hurt sales, Walmart wont sell it, blah, blah, blah. Sex sells and creating bold art is more important then offending the sensabilties of Betty and Joe Beercan.

Or perhaps just a sketch of Gaga by Tony as the cover? A true collaboration.

Or even one of Tony's paintings....

I don't undersand why such an innovative performance artist constantly packages her music in such a mundane way. You would think if you are releasing an album of standers you would want to bring something new to the way you are presenting it. But even if you are interested in producing album art that is not boundry pushing, why not do it in an elegant and classic way? Why photoshop Tony Bennet until he looks like an elderly lesbian clinging onto his virgin sacrafice?

 

Gaga is in desperate need of a good team of graphic artists.
