If someone can convincingly tell me what this image has (specifically) to do with the movie, I'll follow Herzog's lead and eat my shoe.The basement with the jar o’ devil juice is plastered wall to wall with crucifixes.
inksb wrote:Prince of Darkness this wednesday at the usual time on Mondo. I am not a fan of the artwork. The crosses don't do much for me, I don't like the font they used it looks like they were trying to pay homage with out actually using that font. It's not great. Now this may seem like a minor complaint but it's a very basic aspect of design that they seemed to have missed. The objects in the image have shadows, source of light is coming from the bottom left of the image, all of the shadows are larger on the top right side of each cross. The title text has a shadow too, except it goes to the top left. It was the first thing I noticed and it makes me feel like there is minimal proofing going on here on this release. I would have been that dick head creative director who drew big arrows digitally on the work and sent it back saying fix the shadows. lol.As a fellow creative director myself...100% on this whole post. I LOVE the wax treatment, but I'm less than thrilled with the sleeve design, and there is some strange lighting going on for sure. I didn't notice the shadows issue at first, but the font choice is really odd. its ALMOST his usual font, but not entirely. I'm a little confused about this pressing, is it the same as the previous? i might skip if thats the case, but if it is a new remaster then i'll pick up for sure.
