Remember when I did the original chasejarvisLIVE photo shoot way back in winter? If you recall, I was shooting the album cover image for alt/punk country band Brent Amaker and the Rodeo. We also did post production and editing on the images LIVE as well a few weeks after the shoot. Well now it’s time to print these suckers on a limited edition run of vinyl and there is somewhat of a debate on which image is better.
Simply put, and with no further explanation, I thought I’d ask for your thoughts. So which is better, A or B?
Vote in the comments. Also love to know ‘why’ if you care to explain. 500 px wide images after the jump…
[ also, reminder that if you like music and you like chasejarvisLIVE, I’m hosting rising hip hip star RA Scion (of Common Market and Victor Shade) TODAY in 90 minutes at 10:30 pacific/1:30 eastern (GMT – 8). Interview with RA and Village Voice/Time Out/Stranger cultural critic Charles Mudede, plus RA performs LIVE at the end of the show. Hope to see you http://www.chasejarvis.com/live today….]A. With the foreground lady laying down…
OR.
B. With the foreground lady standing up…
Love to hear your thoughts.
Album covers can be a tricky thing…Probably A. The foreground girl is to prominent in B. Unless, of-course, the title track is about a girl. Then B would make sense too.
Hi Chase
I like pictures with a strong foreground, and so I like picture number B. A doesnt appeal to me. There is to much happening that looks the same in A that make me loose focus. While B have the woman standing out and cutting the frame, giving me a great objekt with an interessting background. Also in A the man holding the woman is better lit than the woman in the foreground, and for me the woman in the foreground disappears.
B, with no further explanation! 🙂
“B” for several reasons:
-more dynamic
-guy on couch is better seated
-girl upfront adds interest and more dimension
-there are 3 girls in B and only 2 in A…can’t argue with math:)
I see alot of people here saying that they like A better, I’d have to disagree… there is something about image A that turns me off, I think it’s the composition of the men in the background, it looks a lil too forced.
You should go with image B… i like the composition and the asymmetrical balance that it has working for it.
