In my observation, this seems to be the trend now, in general.  The art 
direction for album and CD packages (and in particular, CD singles) seems to 
be by a new younger generation who utilize more creativity in the artwork, 
rather than simply sticking another picture of the artist on the package. 
 Just look at the array of CD singles--it's like looking at an art gallery. 
 I think it's a welcome change.
