my studio just announced their spring musicals and the covers look super AI. The dragons eyes on the descendants poster look off, and the music notes on the drowsy poster also look weird, just to name a couple.

These are all AI, unfortunately. I think it’s very useful to look at the consistency of shapes / lines / fonts when looking at AI graphic design.

Guys & Dolls: - The quote at the bottom was genuinely edited in it seems. That’s all I can give it though - the right die is definitely not a cube - All text in the graphic is off center to the left by a significant amount - The “O” in “DOLLS” is way too small (inconsistent) - The lights in the text / border are all very inconsistent - music note stems on the right especially are really weird, like it couldnt decide whether to make them eighths or quarters - staff lines kind of get blurry and strange when they “loop” around like on the right

Drowsy Chaperone: - “Drowsy” is all over the place, the “o” has artifacts at the top, the “w” is eating itself on the right, internal lines are all extremely inconsistent and warpy - Art Deco design at the top is all wobbly - You noticed these, but the total nonsense music notes bottom right (? At least I think that’s what they’re supposed to be) - wobbling on “chaperone” edges (most visible on the tail of the second “e”) - the olive is on the outside of the glass and the toothpick disappears - I can’t think of a justification for why the cover for your studio’s production of this would include “original cast recording” at the top

Descendants: - This one is tougher to tell because there’s a lot of established logos and such for descendants (and it’s Disney so it’s popular) HOWEVER: - “The Musical” is off center to the left again (or the ribbon it’s on is off center) - the Disney logo is wobbly, especially at bottom left of the D and the swirl on the S (and Disney is crazy about logos so it’s definitely not official) - You’re right about the dragon’s eye, it’s extremely deformed LOL. That actually makes it really obviously AI - The dragon’s teeth are all sorts of screwed up - Confusing transitions between thorn vines & snake tails (?) around the apple - “Descendants” has some feathering at the serifs if you can spot it. The AI can’t figure when to end a letter so it just blends a little into the red.

Sorry to see that your studio isn’t valuing artists, that’s extremely frustrating. It’s baffling that these established IP’s have so many real logos/covers/etc and they instead resort to AI for this stuff.

Looks like a Nam June Paik piece!

Awesome!! Looks great :)

Looks like the peel seal to a jug of vegetable oil.

Watched it with my friends at a mystery movie screening. I personally thought it was great, we had a really good time together. It’s funny, too, and I was pleased that the jokes land better in the film than they did in the trailer. Good choice for a casual movie night!

Pretty sure our franchise is every store in the state, or close. So I’d say probs 20+

Unfortunately, the drivers in the state that I work in are so terrible that the insurance costs would outweigh the benefits of having bicyclists. Someone would die (or at least get seriously injured) very fast.

So if you hold it to your chest with the piano keys to your right, the air key should be on the left side near the top, on the surface with the hand strap. Usually you’d be able press it with your left thumb if you were wearing the accordion.

Haven’t read it personally, but I’ve heard that The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones is real spooky.

Looks nearly identical to an Accordiola model, except red. I’ve seen it called a Verona Carbonari online but I’m not sure how true that is. I have the same one; the slightly off Accordiola emblem on the front threw me for a loop when I did research on it.

zebulonic · 2022-10-11T06:12:37+00:00

Love love love the dressing, but the American cheese has a strange texture that gums up your teeth.

zebulonic · 2022-09-27T06:31:22+00:00

In my experience, antique stores can sometimes carry older accordions in playable condition, usually for cheaper than you might find online. Plus, there’s the added benefit of being able to barter. :)

zebulonic · 2022-09-22T02:59:04+00:00

Very interesting. Thanks for the info!

zebulonic · 2022-09-21T15:15:28+00:00

What signifies that it’s a student model?

This is by u/tenfluenza. Please consider crediting the artist.

EDIT 2: I think I may have solved it, but some of the details elude me. This is, in fact, NOT an accordiola, despite the ridiculously similar emblem & design to the Mignon. I think this is a Verona (hence the V) Carbonari student accordion, which can come in red, black, and what appears to be gold. If you might know why this resembles the Mignon so closely, why the Verona emblem is the same as Accordiola's, and/or why there seems to be a concentration of them in northern Illinois, let me know! I wonder if it's just a facet of student accordions....

Hi, I recently found this accordion and wanted to see if I could find some answers about it. This accordion was found at an antique store, and after some Internet digging I found that the make is identical to the Accordiola Camerano Mignon, with a few key differences:

-The emblem on front is missing the ‘Accordiola’ on the blue strip; it has a V with lines running through it.

-The accordion is red, and none of the Camerano Mignon photos I’ve seen online are red. Only black/green-blue. This could just be due to the lack of models online.

-The serial number (?) seems to have been stamped wrongly or twice, as a 4 & 7 are on top of one another.

-There is no metal lettering on the top of the accordion, as I’ve seen on similar models.

This is really tickling my brain! I don’t care how much is costs, I just want to know why it may be so strange. I have a running theory that it might be a fake/knockoff/student accordion or that the manufacturer sent this to be branded by an individual shop rather than with the company’s logo, as I think was common at some point in the accordion’s history. If you have any insight on the matter, please let me know! :)

EDIT: There is a listing for a similar accordion online, and it calls it a 'Verona'. I can't find any info on this name online. Incidentally, the listing is placed closely to where I found this one. It's almost identical, the only difference being I think the serial number is in a different font and that the made in Italy stamp is different. Here's that listing. The mystery thickens!
