Wow, great!. I like how the arrow is not actually through the heart, but behind it. What does it mean? The heart is broken, but not because it was shot, only because it thinks it was shot.
Not being shot through the heart, it doesn't give love a bad name. I think love should keep its good name.

I know we'd start overanalyzing the cover -- just like we have the album -- any day now.  |

Well, anyway we're talking about Photoshop "easy effects". True professionals dont use them. But Frank Black staff work with them on a very regular basis!
You see that "effects" column? If you NEVER use it, you're probably a true pro. |

Is it OK to use photoshop to create a dropshadow if you make your own macro from scratch? Or should you use some other program to do the dropshadow? Or should there just be no dropshadows?
And actually, true professionals do use them, because if they do something else, their corporate customers say, "can we put a drop shadow on it?" and the professional tries not to roll his eyes, sucks it up, and does what the customer wants ;)

Trobrianders, I'm dying to hear what you have to say about all this.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Ask Julian. His word is final I'd say. He's what? Ten? A ten year old might think the dropshadow's COOL. Or you could sit him down and explain that a good stock photographer could reshoot a much better result if you made it worth his while.
I don't work with stock so sure I distrust effects. But you'll never hear a photo editor in editorial talk about preserving the integrity of an image, not now. It's not just too obvious, it's too late. The guys in creative are having way too much fun. And so what if I veto an effect? Still got to get the damn thing interpolated.
If you shoot stock for a living then cuss dropshadows all you want, otherwise it's all lip service.

Julian is very talented. I love his use of color. Hopefully there will be much more of his art to come on this and other projects....

| I am pretty sure he did the painting, and Cooking Vinyl added the effects, shadow, and background... |

If you drop "interpolated" on most people, you just might get them to uphold the veto out of sheer confusion.

| I love album packaging as much as anyone and, in some cases, think it's almost as important as the music... and I really couldn't care less about the dropshadow. Looks fine to me! It's a good cover. |

I'm not a big fan of Herman Brood's painting, so I'm glad he didn't go for one of his works. Putting his son's work on the cover is a nice thing to do, very personal.
I still prefer the weird, arty style covers of the pixies era though. |

OK I'm ridiculous, but those fake shadows really kill me. It's like when I buy a chicken soup and realize there is no chiken in it but a chemical chicken taste.
The Residents are crazy with those fake shadows, they even add them to their old record artwork on the reissues !!! |

Maybe The Residents deigned the album cover.
Hell, maybe Julian and Frank are both in The Residents.
Maybe I'm in The Residents.
