While doing some new covers for Country Day: November tonight, I caught what was probably a near-Photoshop Disaster. Check out this single cover for Alan Jackson's "Long Way to Go."
It's not a big deal that they used stock photography for the cover. Everybody does that. What was
almost a big deal, I'm betting, is that they let this early version of the cover out with the
iStockphoto watermark still partially visible. This is likely the rough design the graphic designer did before getting approval to purchase the stock photo. Apparently it almost went out on the market like this, but I checked around and iTunes and Amazon have the correct versions. The one above is from
Taste of Country and I saw the same version on a couple of other review sites. Somebody almost lost a job over that, or got a big ass-chewing.
