Hi people!! Yes, I know... a very simple question.... but not yet seen on the forum, done it?

I intentionally didn't inserted the fans club Cds..... we can vote them another time! Here are only full-lenght album, live & EPs...
So come on... tell me your opinion (and why, of course.... if you want).

:D

In order to be honest, I have to vote for "Contagion" artwork. Although I still dislike music from mentioned album. Alas...  >:(

Yes, Contagion is also my favourite.... buautiful idea for the drawing and a great work with colours. But my second choice was for Immortal..... what a fantastic idea and fantasy!!!

Byz.

I'm glad I'm not in your shoes, man! :(

But I agree upon the artwork thing. Great sleeve!

I think my favorite one is the sleeve of The Visitor. Dark, bleak. But Contagion also looks very good. A bit more colourful than The Visitor  :)

I voted for Pepper's Ghost, simply because I think it's very original and it's one of those things that I would love to have in the old LP-format.
But I do love Contagion and The Visitor as well...

I agree with keyboardistmatt! The visitor  is an amazing front cover but Contagion is furious

The cover art for 'The Visitor' captured my imagination.  I like artwork like that anyway...
The Distance - 'Live And Learn', for example has a good cover.

I also love graphic art... Heartland - 'Miracles By Design' has a great cover!

I have voted for Peppers Ghost, it's extraodinary, the story inside it, the way it's been made.
Title: Re: Best Arena artwork
Post by: Bouge on Fri, 2005-07-15, 13:37:08
I love the whole peppers ghost concept, the stories, the ideas. I also love the atmospheric nature of The Visitor.

Yup, Contagion and Pepper's Ghost.
Especially Pepper's Ghost... I mean, There's so much to see on that cover, I bet it took the longest to make.

Yes, I voted for these also.  The others are good but these two seem to stand out.

:D yeah.... you're right... but Songs is my favourite album and has great meanings for me..... the album that made me discover Arena, and the entire days spent listening to Solomon and Jericho.....

Also the artwork is "carved" in my heart, especially (as Contagion) I like very much the couple of main colours, blue and yellow....

But then, during the years, I appreciated more Contagion and Immortal artwork.......  ;D  ;D

Bye.
Spad.

I choose "Pepper's Ghost". I love that drawning, it's excellent. Very childish though but still a great one =).

Cheerz!
