blackspade,
I am familiar with that article and it speaks to exaclty the point I am raising.

This is mindless styling in my opinion though. What is the point? That is my question.
- frankfido1010
I also find it very interesting that so many seem to embrace this style of art but do not spend the time to question it, or its motives, or what it's saying...

i think his work may be trendy but most art or design is trend based. some may become a pioneer of that trend and makes a name for them selves.
how i see his work is that yes it is very stylized but i see each element working together to make things work, as in emotional values.
when u see something beautiful that is surrounding the image, you feel that calm (imo).
anyone can put shapes and art work together, but having that right balance is the key. i been told that minimalizm is the hardest design / art to master, cause you are bound by limites.
i think in the other hand, maximalism as Mau would put it, has its complexity it self. it requires boundary of elements that are used to find that right balance in which it speaks to you in a manner that makes you feel something out of the chaos that it resonate.

I think your looking to deep into these works, they arent meant to 'convey' anything, there is no point - they are just meant to be pretty to look at
look at any recent album cover, could they not be classed as mindless stlying also

the motive behind every art / design style is breaking away from the norm. it is a niche area until it becomes mainstream (in design world at least).
even though it is our job as designers to come up with innovateive design elements and ideas for better communcation or art to capture the momentary thouights of the people, it is very hard to break away from the trend and the norm that surrounds you.

Meh, I haven't learned anything new. I think blackspade said it.
Beautiful, meaningless, fluff.

a designer is like a punk rock star. so it's just another punk rock band.

could be true, maybe if Nigel could explain his motives further than maybe, i am just saying what i am seeing. from the lable of the project.
like most, art work is very subjective.
like theColdplay's X&Y cover? i would ask why? but they is that meaning behind it. its a mathmatical symbol for that equates to X&Y. i still ask why? who knows. all i can say is what i think and feel when i see something.

Dinky, the Coldplay album wasn't deep, but it was interesting. Something different.
- frankfido1010
"different" is the wrong word - as it wasn't exactly original [Saville's Joy Division cover]

(Jul 18 05, 17:21)yeah it was something different but isnt all album covver something different?
if you ask what the 'substance' is for art and design, than you should ask, why did they use mathmatical formular to convery their title of the album?
- frankfido1010
"you really havent contributed anything except that its fluff. but yet you gave no compelling reason. and i think thats how u learn"
What? I wasn't trying to contribute anything, I was simply asking a question.
You're the one who's given me no compelling reason as to why Nigel's work is anything special. Other than well-excecuted fluff.

kiko, I was just making a joke about kikkoman soy sauce because emo''s comment that frankfido was randoman happened to come right after your post

like i have said, it conveyed emotional tone.
that should be enough for art work
- frankfido1010
Dinky, the point of the Coldplay cover wasn't meant to convey any sort of message.
It was using a different visual language to express the same stuff that is on every album cover [name of the album]
ie- being clever, challenging the audience, etc
