Placebo album covers are an eternal theme for all fans. As soon as the cover of the last album "Never Let Me Go" appeared, the celebratory and condemning comments were immediately dominated by social networks.
Today, I want to focus on the artwork of the INTRO design studio, which created the cover of the ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ album from 2013.
Its creative director is ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐.
For me personally, Julian's work is a masterpiece. Together with the amazing photographs by ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ, it is a breathtaking perfection that brilliantly expresses the combination of psychedelic visions with colorful emotions emanating from the songs.
The artwork of Julian's studio and the photos of Mr. Llanes could be enjoyed mainly by all fans who ordered the album ⭐Loud Like Love Limited Super Deluxe Edition.⭐
Which one of you has this gem?

Dear soulmates, let's remember today what Brian's ideas were about the cover of the album LLL ... An album full of ambiguous lyrics, emotions and melancholy ...:

| Album cover |
"Absolutely. I went specifically to the design company and told them that I wanted to make a clean break with the Placebo aesthetic which has built up over several albums – quite minimalist, figurative, and very much about the human body, and I thought that we’d kind of taken it as far as it could, and if it had continued, I think it could have fallen into the realm of self-parody or just running out of ideas.
So I went to the design company, asking for something very different, and we talked a lot about psychedelic film/’60s and ‘70s film, sci-fi imagery, photographers that inspired us, French comic books, graphic novels, movies like The Man Who Fell to Earth. We talked a lot about counter-culture and psychedelia. My first love, musically, was psychedelic, so I wanted to make reference to that kind of aesthetic. The designer just ran with it.
We were talking about putting it through the filter of modern technology and that sort of video aesthetic, as well, and the whole idea was to have something with psychedelic, sci-fi tones that had a humanity about it that was otherworldly, but that had something familiar to it, as well. We basically wanted to start a new story. I think we felt that there was a certain amount of rebirth going on within the band itself, and that that should be reflected in the artwork. We tended to carry that aesthetic through tour visuals and merchandising, and throughout the whole campaign."

It's very beautiful to liven up these amazing moments, don't you think?
Especially now that we are all waiting for new surprises that the band has prepared for us to release their eighth album.
