monsterhamh 1,335 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Which era do you think had the best artwork for the album and single/promotional covers? I also included C2C to be fair, but left out ASIB just because there was only the album cover and there wasn't any official artwork for the singles besides the fan made ones. I can't decide between TFM and BTW... so you can choose more than one if you'd like.

mariomania1234 11,368 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Nick Knight BTW photoshoot is legitimately one of the best album photoshoots ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannesrats 26 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It's BTW and ARTPOP. The covers for Venus alone make that album amazing. They are insane photos that I'll never forget. Also, the Applause and DWUW covers are pretty much iconic. Edit: Looking back on this, I haven't realized how clean her covers look. The transition from ARTPOP to Joanne just feels so natural looking at it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyVersace 9,039 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 BTW is obvious. But also, Cheek to Cheek by Klein is gorgeous. Some of my favorite Gaga images ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gam 19,695 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Love them all, but personally I love stripped down looks which Joanne era served TF era too just because of how iconic all the looks are lastfm - https://tinyurl.com/4x28kakr⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀steam - https://tinyurl.com/mbyp5as5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter 14 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Joanne. Mainly because I love the maturity and evolution of her artwork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctelus 2,901 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Fame Monster. Simple dark photography. Born This Way a close second but it's a little too much. TFM just feels more authentic. Both those descriptions could also be attributed to the associating music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno 2,880 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 1. The Fame Monster by Hedi Slimane is literally incomparable to the rest of her releases. Its perfect. Literally perfect. 2. Born This Way by Nick Knight is a close second albeit the actual album covers were horrendous and although ive grown used to them and almost like them.....imagine what they COULD have been if she wasnt being such a contrarian at the time? Sorry but its just the truth. 3. ARTPOP's single covers are pretty dope actually, I like them a lot. I really liked the promotional shoot for ARTPOP which SHOULD have been the album shoot imo however the actual album art/shoot is kind of lacking for me. 4. The Fame cover and album shoot is amazing and iconic, but the single covers were meh. 5. Joanne - pleasant indifference. Its nice. i don't feel much about any of the shoot or artwork for this album however I do love the PI single cover. 6. C2C honestly just looks like bad photoshop work, why? why didnt they try to make it cooler? I dont understand? did they not have the budget? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
