Voted Option 1. The phone in hand gives you the context the cover art can't on its own. For a mindfulness-adjacent podcast, seeing it held at rest in warm light creates the listening moment before anyone presses play. The standalone cover is beautiful, but it works harder on a landing page than in a feature showcase.
option 2 is the one with my vote since it actually IS the bit of this post that stopped me to vote & comment. something about the use of the shape outline & colors used almost make it feel extensive past the screen, kind of like an optical illusion of an inflation effect. ...
Going with option 1
Building curiosity is very important in design. Option 1 encourages to explore the product.

Which cover art do you prefer?👀
Rockstar has always been faithful to its classic mosaic grid system. This rigorous visual consistency is undoubtedly one of the pillars that helps solidify the franchise as an incredibly strong and instantly recognizable brand worldwide.
But thinking about design, which do you prefer and why? Has there been any design evolution since 2013?
