Release: Live at the Cameron House
Label: ???
Designer: ???
Release Date: April 19, 2008
Not really sure what’s going on here. There little context to the photo, and the typography and track listing make little sense. Maybe that’s the point? Or am I missing something?

Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Release: Live at Piedmont Park
Label: RCA
Designer: ???
Release Date: December 11, 2007
There’s no mistaking that this is a live CD, what with the focus of the photo and the reds and yellows hinting at the stage lighting. Reminds me a lot of Kutless’ live CD cover

Artist: AFI
Release: I Heard a Voice: Live from Long Beach Arena
Label: Tiny Evil
Designer: John Shearer (photography)
Release Date: November 13, 2007
The Shearer credit for the photos are probably for the live shots inside the booklet, not anything to do with the cover. Regardless, crows/ravens have been a staple of gothic-influenced bands ever since Poe started fidgeting with the idea of lost loves and Greek mythology, so it makes sense that AFI would use it here, especially in the context of the album title.

Artist: Armin Van Buuren
Release: Universal Religion 2008, Live from Armada at Ibíza
Label: Ultra
Designer: ???
Release Date: December 4, 2007
The problem with the internet webscreen is that photo or scans of print design can’t communicate things like texture or transparency well, or at all, actually. This is a good illustration (hah) of the former. This may be just a plain paper design, but it could be a real leather(ish) book acting as a case. Any promo people out there have an idea, seeing as it has yet to be released? The world may never know.

Nicely-done painting, which may or may not have something to do with the concept behind their Still Life
