Why is DT sticking with Hugh Syme?

[Perpetual Change]

I just have to wonder how much time he actually spends on this, given how many DTFers produce more impressive album covers in a short amount of time.

Slapping the incorrect DT font on an image you flogged from DeviantArt doesn't really count as producing an album cover.

Haha, but slapping the incorrect DT font on a watermarked image you got from somewhere else? Totally acceptable!

Hadn't heard the watermarked part. Which image was that?

I believe there was one on the guitar picture in the DT12 booklet.

Yes, it's there.

Doesn't STEVETHEATER make his stuff from scratch?

Which makes it even worse that they're still better than a lot of DT covers.

Not really. They're taking someone else's work that they've put a ton of time and effort into already, probably more than would be possible for work like Syme's. People criticize Syme for his use of stock images, but these fan images are ripping off completed images wholesale (and without permission, since we're just messing around). So it's not like fans are making legitimately viable album covers for direct comparison here.

Yep, he's legit.
