::: I'm using this post to congratulate Aaron for this collaboration on @U2 about the 'Duals' CD.
But also I'm saying:
::: What is happen with some people/fans?
At Yahoo Collectors Group, the members are saying: '...I've received my 'Duals' it's a nice, cd/nice package/great arrival..."
First, for those who don't know me or have read a post by me here, or somewhere esle: I'm almost 40, and I'm an Architect. Thus this obviously I have a wider spectrum of graphic arts design, because of my job, I know how to use digital software to create enviroments, spaces, colours, textures, and to project any design we must apply knowledge about contrast, unity, clarity, balance, simetric elements and or contrast with light, shades, transparencies or opacity items, etc.
How can someone of us --as I've read on twitter, U2.com, Yahoo Collectors, Zootopia, Etc.-- say that 'Duals' has a great design package?
JesusChrist. It's the most awful sleeve/jacket, or inner fold out package ever in U2 history.
I still don't know if it was produced by Steve Averill and Company, but, you don't need to have studied neither graphic or architectonic design. With Corel Draw, or Adobe Illustrator or whatever design software and a bunch of official photography of the band, a lot of Us would have come with a better cover and overall design.
The only good thing of all of this 'Duals' was the original concept. A compilation of U2 and other artists collaborations. The rest is like a slap on the face. At least for me. i can't be insulted like that, first with the tracklisting, then with the poor graphic design.
I wanna read opinions, guys.
Happy Easter.
