How'd I get it? I hacked onto EMI's ftp index.

:o.....WOW! I love it!

[yamfox]

Am I the only one who doesn't believe him? :thinking:

[eFlat]

WOAA thats awesome! :o I hope its real, looks rather Photoshopped...

[Starlight]

No seriously, where did you get it... :P

[exist2inspire]

looks cool, i'd hope it's legit.

[BigFatNoises]

I don't trust you... do you have where the image is stored on the EMI serve???

[mykierulz]

I wish there was more paint splatterings like the album cover.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

the URL of this image is an imageshack one:

of course, that's not a definitive answer, but if you found the image online, why bother reuploading the image to post it? why not just use the original URL of the image?

i don't believe it for several reasons.

[magodeoz]

Am I the only one who doesn't believe him? :thinking:
You aren't.. It's definitely Photoshopped.

[RunForTheHills]

Very, very fake. I could have done better.

Honestly. :rolleyes:

[magodeoz]

^that's what I thought :P

[Navegador]

I must give you congratulations, it almost convinced me. But there are some errors in the layer :cry: Good try, Mr. Oasis

[Knotty]

I hope it's Photoshopped because I don't like it and it's pretty awful.

[yamfox]

Mr. Oasis... :P

[yamfox]

Very, very fake. I could have done better.

Honestly. :rolleyes:
Of course you could have done better! You're Semy!

[eFlat]

Very, very fake. I could have done better.

Honestly. :rolleyes:

Haha thought so. Semy knows all. :P

[RunForTheHills]

That's very kind of you to say, but I said what I said not because I'm a master at photoshop (far far from it, and I'm not bragging at all by the way. I pretty much suck at anything that doesn't involve the brush tool :P) but because it doesn't take a lot of effort to stick the "Viva La Vida" paintstrokes - made red by a blend filter - on top of a random classical painting. If I were to take a wild guess, he probably downloaded the PSD file that I uploaded in the wallpaper thread, moved and removed some of the splatters, and bam, placed it on the painting and finished it in 5 minutes. Honestly, if you're out to fool people, at least make it convincing. The creator didn't even consider the composition of the text or the image, its like they've both been positioned randomly.

Probably an unneeded rant on my part, but I don't really understand why people come here to try to trick people and get them excited for nothing. Its happened time and time again and it isn't really a constructive way to use the forums.

Ok, I'm done. I'm braced for your e-slaps :P

[winigwl]

typical of noel gallagher

[the_escapist]

I hope people find something more interesting to do than play around with us the coldplayers - Luckily, we ain't buying shit these days, until is confirmed or comes from someone with a lot of posts!!!

cheers!

[hmallsop]

i wish i knew how you lot realised how it was rubbish.what did you do to the photo.

[Mimixxx]

I wish there was more paint splatterings like the album cover.

I love your sig!

*stares*

[johnnymax865]

let's suppose it's true... why hasn't been still announced a physical release of the single? Of course, I hope it's true cause I'm waiting for 3 things now:
- video for viva la vida
- cd single for viva la vida
- friday june 13th obviously...
when all these things happen, I'll be in heaven!

[Stefan-C8]

Lol, if anyone would've post the album cover months before it was shown, no one would have believed it either :laugh2:

[JPB]

Fake!

Real!

Who knows these days?

But yeah, it's fake, as you guys have already called it right.

I'm just in agreement.:)

[johnnymax865]

probably it's as fake as the author (cause he isn't really noel gallagher...)

prspekt or coldplay should tell someting more clear now...

[busybeeburns]

All of the above and the fact its the wrong effing shape! :lol:

[alvin.ping]

I love how people say it looks "Photoshopped" as an argument to it being a fake. Heads up guys, EVERYTHING IS PHOTOSHOPPED. That's what 99% of the industry uses to compose images. Did you know the official cover for Violet Hill was Photoshopped? Did you know the actual album art was Photoshopped?

Honestly. Reasons would be nice. :dozey:

Needless to say, I don't think it's legit, and if it is, I don't like it. Mainly because the composition is poor, and tonality is poorly balanced across the canvas.

[magodeoz]

^Ok, then, I'd say it looks photoshopped by an amateur ;)

[Coldplayer11]

if it was locust7..i'd think we'd believe locust7 in a second!:P

[Famous Old Painter]

If that is the real cover then the thread starter really is Noel Gallagher!

[Acer_NoDoubter]

i really don't understand why people go all the way to create an account and just make one lousy post about a fake coverart....

I'll tell you why it's fake: if the art department in EMI thinks as an actual art department, they wouldn't use a painting for a single cover art, since they didn't use one for the VH single, and as an art department who cares about your artist, you should keep a line of artwork and make all of your releases for the same album as equal as possible...

anyways, it's just a graphic designer's 2-cents.....

[rudy_o]

:dozey: huh???

[bresc]

...it doesn't take a lot of effort to stick the "Viva La Vida" paintstrokes - made red by a blend filter - on top of a random classical painting.

i hate to point it out semy but that's preeety much all they've done on the album cover too.:P

i do think it was painted on nicely though...

[alyssa]

Well the Viva La Vida paint strokes probably took a bit of effort to make originally....

[Bonus_mosher]

it's the same lettering off the album cover just photoshopped red.

[exist2inspire]

To me, the font is similar to another called Levibrush used in all caps.
I've used it before on some of my work and I got from dafont.com.

I know it isn't the same font, but you can add some brushing to it and it would look very similar.

[DriftedFar^]

And what's your definition of an FTP index Mr. Oasis hacker?

I've never heard of that term.

[twistedleksi2008]

sorry to go off-topic, but could someone please explain what is meant by 'digipak'.

is 'gatefold' the funky folded cd cases as opposed to the standard jewel cases also?

[frostbitepanda]

It's fake as hell.

Does anyone know what font WAS used for VLV?
