Welcome home, Little Monsters.

less is more #1 rule in DESIGN.

As a graphic designer, the first thing I learned in ART school was SIMPLICITY. The best way to communicate a message or Idea is to make it clean and simple. As in Fashion and anything related to Art, LESS IS MORE. I DON'T OWN THE IMAGE. BUT it is so much better than the official Album cover. Sorry mr. Koons. I will be making this my Artpop Album cover on my iTunes library.

I love this one. it's so much better. So pure.

Lance@lancemonster 12y

Seriously this "less is more" thing isn't always correct. This edit is one of the most boring covers I've seen for a while.

Last time I check people had the right to express their opinion. Yes, there will be individuals that wont agree but there is no need to be so negative/hate about it.

Design IS in fact considered a fine art, and the best designers are the ones that can blur the line between art/design. Don't forget, Andy Warhol was a graphic designer - he fused advertising, graphic design and popular culture into his own artistic endeavour. Also, keep in mind the medium is an album cover - if you search some of the greatest album covers ever made, each one still has a basic sense of hierarchy and balance and space. I think that the elements of the cover are incredible, but the execution is poor.... there are too many things going on.. It can be complex, but still have order, and to me... the cover does not have order... it is too many things fighting for your attention

As a Graphic Designer, I have to agree with you. You have a point. There was no hierarchy in designs and such. I guess, ARTPOP is all about pushing boundaries in designs. & that just happened.

Phil Rogers@ecomasta27 12y

I think the whole point is to see the chaos/beauty behind her that lives in her mind

goldie@goldies 12y

omg how can you say that! please take a look at this n then you can say whatever you want, its the art behind artpop littlemonsters.com/...

Cindy Medrano@c1nxxx 12y

Love it!!!

Roman †@romanzabensky 12y

absolutely agree .. :)

Paul Chieffo@pawchief 12y

Design has guidelines, art does not, this album cover isn't a design think of it more as a painting

Paul Chieffo@pawchief 12y

Actually, that's not always the rule, in certain cases simplicity is not useful in a design

MaikG@gasimakis 12y

you know I haven't studied art but all I know is that art is controversial and comes in every forms, don't be so close minded n try to explore all possibilities and some times simple is boring :-) Gaga isn't famous for her simplicity ;-)

Ibrahim Sembawa@ibraa 12y

I actually never liked any of gaga's album covers and singles artwork what matter the most is the music and so far it's amazing and if she's happy with the cover i'm happy to

HELEN@alenahairetdino 12y

MONSTERS!!please are there this pic,but the black background??🙏🙏🙏

ZYMBAL@nikg 12y

Maybe that's what they wanted to do: breake this rule... But I don't like it either, it's just information overloade with colors that could fit together but they really don't :( I hope there will be an alternative cover like the born this way one...

Chip Whitehouse@chipwhitehouse 12y

Art is subjective. Get off your high horse and DEAL.

grimlock@grimlock 12y

I personally find this post really unrespectful...the cover is the result of a process, a transposition of gaga's concept of art made by Koons, an artist whose work you may or may not like...I think that a lot of effort was put in the process to make the cover more accurate as possible to gaga's idea of ARTPOP! So you're basically criticizing Gaga's own personal vision of art and pop, of her own work...

Garrett Chace@garrettchace 12y

I'm a graphic designer as well and also graduated from art school and I think the original cover by Gaga + Koons is a masterpiece. So please don't label your idea of art as the idea for everyone.

RƎVO⅃UTION@rinothebouncer 12y

Looks a thousand times better.

Darragh Mc Nally@darraghmonster 12y

I thought Monsters were meant to believe in freedom of expression! I get that you don't like the cover, but there's no need to criticise Gaga and Koons hard work on it. The cover is meant to be the way it is; crazy, colourful and a "mess" as I see so many people call it. I for one LOVE the cover, and I will definitely not be changing it to something else on my iTunes. Also, it's ARTPOP.
