TITLE: CLICK CLICK NEWS EXPOSURE---IS ANDY PLAGIARISING
Miracle World, the new Mandarin album by Andy was released 2 yrs after the previous one, the making of the album was of course meticulous. Other than inviting famous cartoonist to design the MV for Shepherd Flute, the album cover was designed to give the feel of a fairy tale.
The picture however resembles that of a German photographer Loretta Lux, The Red Ball No.1, produced in 2000.
007 (the author) surfed uwants forum recently, a netizen used the title ‘Is Andy plagiarizing?’ to post Andy’s album cover & compared it with
Loretta's The Red Ball No.1.
The child, wearing a short-sleeved green shirt, similarly lifted up both hands. He was like using magic to make the red balls suspended in the air.
Andy wears a long sleeved green top, also putting on a magic act, the red balls were changed to big marbles. Netizen small lamb said, "The basic structure is the same."
Loretta’s work used children as models mostly, combining photography, drawing & in the later stage, digital in her work. The photographic work is incorporated into her own drawing, with her unrealistic style she portrays the fantasy world of the children.
It happens that Andy’s new album is also fantasy world, it makes one wonders that Andy plagiarizes the idea of the artiste.
Personally I dont think its Plagiarism.. its just similar...
