Open Challenge to anyone!

[NM!]

Well, I haven't been on EWB for a while now, so unfortunately, I missed out on the battle with Nufan and Docpepper, but hopefully they wouldn't mind to join in on this? However, even if you aren't Doc or Nufan, I'd still love to have another fresh face to join in. So, once someone comes in, I'd like someone to set up the rules. Thanks.

[Docpepper]

I'm down. maybe Nufan will want to join and we can make it a 3 way

[New Damage]

I may be down to get on it. Yeah.

Either way, I've thought of a set of rules: Redesign an album cover in a way that fits the title.

Those rules are pretty good, but do you mean in the way that it fits the album's name or a song's name?..

[New Damage]

The album's name (or lyrics in the title track or theme of the album etc), so for example the Alice In Chains album "Facelift" would have someone with their face being taken off etc. I say "so that it fits the album's name" just so that it's basically not a straight remake of an album cover if you catch my drift.

[nufan]

yeh im down for that, the rules are pretty good too.

best of luck gents

[NM!]

Alright so it'll be Nufan vs. Docpepper, vs. Nevermore. Good luck guys.

[New Damage]

What, so am I not allowed in? Also sizes? Deadlines? etc.

[NM!]

Oh well, I'm fine with Modern getting in. Didn't know if you could get in since you made the fules and all. Umm, sizes would be something reasonable for a cd cover(not a DVD cover) and the deadline will be Wednesday?

[thedjt]

It's square sooo... 350x350 or 450x450 and if you want a subject you could always redo Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight becuase the original cover was.... well it was shit.

[New Damage]

450-squared sounds good to me, but I'd much prefer free reign on the album of choice, mainly because of my dislike for Linkin Park. Though coincidentally, most of my dislike comes from that album cover.

[nufan]

here is my effort

went with all time low and so wrong it's right

mainly chose this because it was the first album on my ipod that I thought I could do something with.

it was either this or No Use For A Name and Hard Rock Bottom, which bascially would have been a picture of the rock doing the rock bottom :-P

[Docpepper]

really good cover. i like that. Did you make the case yourself ? it's very well done

I decided to go with Willie Nelson's Naked Willie album

[nufan]

Hahaha I love it Doc

and no the Jewel Case was an old resource I had lying around, that I thought would add a nice effect.

[New Damage]

Here's my entry. Ended up somewhat like I imagined, so that's a plus.

Shinedown - "The Sound of Madness"

Edited August 31, 2009 by TheModernWay

[Docpepper]

:waves white flag of surrender:

seriously I fucking love that design TMW. lol one word sums it up WIN!

[thedjt]

ah a vast improvement of the old Shinedown cover because Birds are apparently mad...? Very good designs I like them indeedly*. Shall we start the voting.

[livid]

Well you should probably wait for Nevermore_Nightmare to post his before you start voting.

[thedjt]

Ahh so there's one still to be done, I'll wait patiently then... ....

[nufan]

Ahh so there's one still to be done, I'll wait patiently then... ....

well done TMW, very nice

now we play that waiting game..... this game sucks lets play hungry hungry hippos.

annnnnd moving on

to those in a voting mood, Doc and myself have another battle going on on the GFX board if you would be so kind to vote on that, it'd be appreciated
