Joss Stone And The EMI Art Department Will Ugly-Album-Cover Each Other To The Death
“Joss Stone: Did her label make her change her provocative album-cover art?” Entertainment Weekly breathlessly asks about the two images above, one of which was Joss’ “artistic choice” to be the cover for her new album, the other the one that EMI actually sent to stores. Whether or not the former EMI darling’s curdling of her relationship with her label (yes, she wants to be “free” of her paymasters’ clutches, just like Prince) resulted in the left cover being swapped out for the right, I think we all know who loses: The designers of fonts that aren’t Comic Sans-like in their ugliness, and every single one of our eyes. (I’d even go so far as to say that any corrective lenses employed to make said peepers work get an “L” in their column as well.) [EW]
