Do you want something collage-y and cluttered like Awake and Black Clouds? Something simple and atmospheric like Train of Thought or Octavarium? Something bare like Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence? Or something completely different perhaps?

I'll be honest... I want Syme again. I never tire of him. Likewise, I don't think a collage-y thing is what I'd like. Something more nature-y, but beautiful. No green.

Mladen

I want an awesome kind of artwork.  :)

Something abstract yet beautiful would be perfect.

The Silent Cody

Something with nature was on 8VM, I doubt they repeat that...I think that we will see definitly Majesty logo on the cover somewhere... ;) I think I would want to be something with universe ;)

reneranucci

I want a collage of all Aniland' awesome avatars and thread tittles.

lordxizor

I'd love to see them do something completely different. Like simply an artistic photo of some kind. No more photoshopped digital mishmash.

I want something open, colorful and beautiful......like Octavarium  :tup

Plain white it is, then.

Orion1967

I wouldlike something that is not all cluttered with goofy crap.   Something that is singular in theme, slightly abstract and artistic.  Simple color palette with a dominant color scheme with one or two contrasting elements.     


...all wrapped around a killer sounding CD :tup

I hope the artwork sucks, because Octavarium and FII are my favorite album covers, but least favorite albums. That being said, they still are amazing albums even if they are my least favorites from DT.

:lol

Just no Syme and I'll be good.

I like Syme...I thought the Black Clouds artwork was fantastic.

orcus116

I dunno, it kinda came off like a mediocre graphic design senior project. The Systematic Chaos one was kinda neat though.

this.... or Manowar

The cover should be a picture of John Myung playing the bass in a room.

Actually, I do sometimes wonder who they will go with to do the artwork. I'm guessing Syme, but who knows

This + 1,000.

There's a million talented artists out there who could produce something fresh and compelling.

JediKnight1969

I'd love to see a George Grie artwork or a HR Giger one.

A girl on girl layout by Suze Randall would be awesome too.

Ben_Jamin

One big Majesty logo in the middle, Blue and black background.

I don't want it to look like something a 13 year old put together in Photoshop in 20 minutes (hello there BC&SL). I don't mind having numerous elements on the covers, but each item should look like it actually fits into the picture and not look like it's just been copy/pasted on top of a background image and little to no effort made to make it fit better. So I guess what I want most is more time to be put into the cover no matter what it happens to be.

Something simply, but lot of stuff there, I won't be disappointed in almost any case.

tgstk2

i would like to have the best DT with MM caption picture for the albums artwork.

music is all about having fun and enjoying so why shouldn't the artwork give you a smile?

fadetoblackdude7

I wonder if we'll get something over-detailed again like Systematic Chaos?

nikatapi

I would love to have a painting as an artwork, and not the cliche photoshop art once again.

This.

But 8VM and ToT were the only 2 good artworks in my opinion, I want something similar to them.

 :facepalm: People are over-exaggerating about the BC&SL artwork, there's nothing wrong with it

olliemedsy

i dunno why, but i can imagine some city floating in the sky with little waterfalls falling into eternity and wierd stuff like that, i dont know why

8VM is a geometric eyesore.  Looks ok, otherwise, but lining the ball up so badly always draws my attention.

This style?



Imagine this alternative for ToT:


fadetoblackdude7

^^^ Those are fucking amazing, where are they from and who made them??

MetropolisxPt1

in pure dt form the artwork will be a collection of things or meanings from the lyrics, this makes the albums flow and have more of an overall concept.


FretMuppet

I quite like the picture-worth-a-thousand-words-type of art like SFAM

JPX

I think Mars-1 could make some awesome concept art.
Modern day YES style.
