The cover received 40% of the voted cast by our readers. Wolf’s Law by The Joy Formidable was second with 30%. Aaron Neville’s My True Story was a distant third with 10%. The winning cover demonstrates that a simple design can often generate a great deal of interest. It is just nine squares of different color. However, the result is quite sophisticated. When I first saw it posted on Amazon.com. it immediately caught my eye. I am not surprised that it won. http://blog.albumartexchange.com/?p=4468

And I wonder if PSB were to release this today, would it also win a best album artwork award: I understand PSB's Yes album artwork took inspiration from the Gerhard Richter piece below (I'm guessing Clash magazine may have done too) For more info go to Creative Review Edited by user 29 January 2013 16:38:37(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
