JUST THE COVER

(second silly question goes to 7even )
(first whiny comment goes to skeddles )
Canvas Size: 100x100minimum , 200x200maximum

"candycanes and gravity" sounds like a collab song between paris hilton and slipknot."*must everything be about YOU?

its sound more like the result of a drunk random name generator...

Some of those Bad album covers really had me LOL'ing. Thanks for posting that. :)

Because you always say something odd and then are like "That sounds like a band name." Like "CANDYCANES AND GRAVITY". That's just awesome.

Dull? You can choose Pink Floyd! PINK FLOYD.There's so many possibilities man. Why would you need to make your own band? There's more then enough bands to choose from.

Decided to do one of the worst album covers just because I have an idea...

*sooooooo, tempted to give tomic, (first best idea :)
tomic (Level 11 CEO) at 3/10/2008 4:19:17 PM
needa cancel an other pixel for this, but seems like i'll do my first iso this week.. albumcover, yes
Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Detective) at 3/10/2008 4:01:44 PM
Hmm, shall I do Iron Maiden's number of the beast? :D skeddles (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/10/2008 2:23:02 PM
No offence, but this is kinda dull. You should have to come up with a name for a band of your own and then design a cover.Oh well, maybe another week.
I'll prolly do an ICP album.
7even (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 3/10/2008 12:16:08 PM
Does this include Movie/Game Soundtracks as well, right?
AdamPlays (Level 6 SWAT) at 3/10/2008 11:19:03 AM
RE-MEMBER it says RE-MAKE or RE-ENVISION! NOT TRACE!!!
And someone please REENVISION one of these horrid album covers.
tomic (Level 11 CEO) at 3/10/2008 10:25:19 AM
i only hope this will not mount into the kind of tracing orgy that we had with the cutscene-challenge
FrankieSmileShow (Level 6 Manager) at 3/10/2008 6:27:47 AM
Aw crap! I should have waited before submitting this months ago, just in case someone ends up making a cover art challenge!Ah well, it wouldn't qualify anyways.

Man, I was hoping to get FSQ for this one. Is there a 'silliest question' prize?
skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/10/2008 4:48:37 AM
Yays :DSkamocore: 1
jalonso: 0
I have a feeling that if I get the time I'm going to enter this as many times as possible
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 3/10/2008 4:40:37 AM
urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*rules edited >:(

So has Mr Pharand already won this ?anyway what does "You may create the inside sleeves and even the back cover but only the Cover is required." mean...are we supposed to recreate the inside sleeves and back cover and keep this all within a 200x200 canvas?
If so why not allow transparency so we can space out the different elements within the canvas instead of having an arbitrary background colour separating the cover, back cover and sleeves
