PakMan Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi guys, Today, I'm going to propose you artists a challenge: I'm compiling a collection of eBooks (PDF) about Armadillo MUP and I need a really cool cover to it. I have made the following one for guidance: If you think you can do better, go for it and take your time; I'm in no hurry. If you have any questions, please, PM me. Thanks, PakMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DarkDragon Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Looks cool ! but you forgot somthing! "presented by Packman"Also, "presents" should not be that big ! make it small, or even remove it !and ...*/ "seek 'n destroy" shoul be at the whole top, make it stright with a medim font size.*/ "armadillo unpacking manual" should be clear and big enough to be the second thing that takes the reader's attention, of course after the animal's image !*/ "SND collection / Book 01" (some space) "presented by Pakman" : this should be at the whole bottom, with small font but very clear.

PakMan Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) What do you think about this one? Yeah, it's cool I might use it in one of the books but, remember I need to be able to edit the "Book 1" text... I have planned 6 books at least so, if there are enough covers, I will use a different one on each book. Please, upload the original file so I can get it. *EDIT* @DarkDragon Good tips. Why don't you try to make one cover yourself? Pak Edited July 7, 2006 by PakMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I redesigned it after Dragons suggestions, and wanted to add a real armadillo feeling, here is what i came up with: Here is the photoshop source, experiment a bit with the colors if you want to./>http://rapidshare.de/files/25196006/snd1-arm.rar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Buzifer Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 P43, i like the idea with the "Chapter 1" in the corner! , have you inverted the colors? how does it look if you add some colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECLiPTiC Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Here's something a little different.... You asked for a "book cover" well here it is: If you like the idea, I can fix up the text so that it looks more like it's embossed into the leather (I had to finish it up quickly).

PakMan Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 P43, i like the idea with the "Chapter 1" in the corner! Yeah, it's nice and original but, I would prefer "BOOK 1" instead of "VOLUME 1" ...have you inverted the colors? how does it look if you add some colors? I would like to see that too... If you like the idea, I can fix up the text so that it looks more like it's embossed into the leather (I had to finish it up quickly). Yes, I like the idea very much; Ok, try to work up the text a little more as you suggest and please, take your time because, I'm in no hurry Thanks guys, the artwork of yours is being even more cool than what I thought in my most optimistic expectations PakMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Not got any graphics to offer, but I'm really looking forwarding to reading the book!Thanks PakMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buzifer Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 @ Ecliptic Your version looks very cool, like an old book about necromancy or black magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungus Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 That one is interesting, I like the font. Ditch the pink...why not use the old color scale for quality, since arm can be tough,how about silver or gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PakMan Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I like the font.... So do I. Please, keep the purple! It's one of my favorite colors and fits just fine in this font format... Pak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PakMan Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 So are you going to use it?Yes, I will going to use it but, with a couple of very little changes.There are enough books in the table for all the covers you artists are proposing; once I've decided which cover goes to which book and what changes I would like to see applied so all the covers will follow a certain pattern - or a certain identity if you prefer -, then, I'll contact the artists (PM) to discuss the details.Pak.

PakMan Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 how are those books coming on? They are coming slowly but inexorably Being optimistic, I point this collection to be released late August, by the end of vacation. Pak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
