Laughing City

Should the new album cover be green like the others?
it HAS to be green! Green is synonymous with Eisley! It defines them.

No, I'm tired of green and I'd much rather see a different colored album cover

Enough of the dark-tinted green, it is far too reminiscent of emo bands (or dark-tinted colors in general I guess).
Use brighter colors, AND NO GREEN (for at least another album, please).

I'M NOT GOING TO DO DRAB GREEN.
but honestly, Room Noises wasn't based on this
forum color scheme. It's warm, but also has brown's...
What I wanted to do ended up as the Final Noise Poster.
that's what i submitted but it got shot down.

"Laughing City" forum is based on the CD graphic -
Laughing City ep. yes. it was drab green.
But Marvelous things shifted a little and intro'd purples.
Those two came out the same year and were almost like
a full length together... I hated Marvelous Things cover and
didn't want to use it... but management saw the idea and pushed
it. The thing u have to understand is.... nobody saw those ep's
really. u did, but... they were very insignificant. The first record
was the introduction to the industry and I didn't want to vere to
far away from an introductory look/feel...

i'll try to show u what i'm thinking. it's really smart. good
colors - you'll love it... and it's... well, hold on. I'll go make
the cd right now and we'll be done with this for good. bd

See? it has the right colors. not the wrong ones. that's why it's better.
Plus - the concept is there.... the aquatic, dinosauric vibrancy just
leads your eye into a spasmic frooty, loopy-doopy DOOKIE. THAT'S
what i'm talkin' about.

I'm glad i could make the album art so fast because i'm so busy. Now
i can go stare at my drab green flash cards again.

Shocked

I'd just prefer it to look cool, not worry about what color it's going to be. When you look at an album cover, you should be able to kind of discern the tone of the album. And since Boyd is on the job, I think both of those will happen.

Executives, though, have no clue about good design, and will force weird ideas upon you just because they're afraid. Heck, most marketing firms these days have no clue about good design. Artists should take more charge in their marketing; like Kubrick.

The album covers that Patrock made a while ago actually had a really interesting blue-ish hue that I liked.
