Graphics 101..or maybe Art 102

Out of morbid curiosity, I checked out the lovely graphics edits Tokyopop made to their recent acquisition. Unsurprisingly, they have their bestest art person at it again. Since CLAMP's cover illustration is so not outstanding and possibly ugly, they've brilliantly shrunk the oh-so bland cover illustration. And they've possibly found the most beauteous font for the title at freefonts.com to distract the buyer. They also put in random squigglies underneath and to the side to even further say, 'There are frills inside,' since the illustration obviously didn't say that enough. If you didn't know, Tokyopop hires only the most savvy graphics people on the planet! Brings tears to my eyes when I see their edits to those darn, fault-ridden Japanese manga covers.
