Yet, it seems like one part of the group’s comeback has become a hot topic… for all the wrong reasons.
On April 17, images of what fans can expect from the “Compact version” of their upcoming album were posted. The first two pictures showed what the outside of the album would look like, giving fans a taste of the album’s theme and how it runs through all the elements.
The tweet then showed the inclusions, including the cd, photocards, poster, and lyric sheet. Like the first pictures, there seemed to be a running theme for the album’s aesthetics.
Yet, while fans are excited about the album, the design of this album came under huge criticism after they saw the image and unconventional graphics. In particular, netizens compared the brown marks to poop, making the funniest jokes about whoever designed the album.
Kpop graphic designers need to learn that emulating textures as a design NEVER WORKS unless it actually gives the physical texture or its a 3d model, this design does not make sense it looks like DOOKIE marks not burnt paper https://t.co/yywntwW5Bw
