but i am quite sure that they work fairly closely with whomever is working
on them ... I would be even willing to bet that they have s pecific idea
of what they want to illustrate and they do their best to convey this to
the person working on it ... There are very few people who are allowed
free reign  when it comes to designing projects like this ... and even
though many peoplle worship at the feet of TDR i dont really think either
sean or rob just tell them to go crazy and give 'em whatever .. it just
doesnt work that way ...  i am also quite sure that in the design process
for the albums, questions arise over what is to be represented and why?
these are very common concernse when designing for an outside part .. and
often these questions help the designer get a better start on the project
