Album art? Which do you prefer?

No genre in particular. Do you prefer "handmade" drawn/painted artwork, photoshopped/ digital work? Or photography?

No preference. If it's good, it's good no matter what medium. There are awesome examples of all three of the above, same as their are shit examples.

anyway i think computer has done a lot of damage to design in general. Now everything is done faster and looks more stereotypical

I like photographs and good typography. Really depends on it though, all three can be sick if executed well

Any format so long as it's not overly cliché/lazy

Who cares, art is subjective, if it looks good, then the medium upon in which it was created with shouldn't matter.

Just looked up 'Worse Album Art' on Google and found these.

Don't really have a preference, as long as it compliments the music it's good to me. That being said I probably enjoy looking at photograph based covers more.

Of course there's good ones of every type but I like drawn/painted the most

Flylo - Cosmogramma for instance is a sick fuckin album cover
