He's Paul McGuiness, a cover without any writing on it, is something special in his book.

U2 are about to create a “digital visual co-efficient” for album sleeve artwork. “Watch this space because it’s something U2 are addressing on their next album.”

Bomb was hardly a stunner and Anton has this movie with his name on it so....

ok, come on people (meaning, U2/et al.) do some research before you release an album cover….

for those who don’t know what i’m ranting about, U2’s forthcoming album “no line on the horizon” is nearly an exact rip-off of mine and richard chartier’s “specification.fifteen” which came out a couple of years ago. both covers feature a photograph by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto. “specification.fifteen” was created directly in conjunction with Sugimoto and his retrospective at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC. so.. before you let people run off about how “cool” the new U2 cover is.. show them ours first…

(i like how their small boxes are nearly identical in proportion to ours as well…)
