It is fun, isn't it?



This time, I grabbed an image of the stained glass TV from the Cathedral of St. John the Divine's website, and layered it over a picture I took of some New York buildings (taken while across from a Mondrian at MOMA). Font is Univers Condensed and Bold Condensed.

very escher-esque!

and of course, anybody can post a cover, I have not because, well, frankly it would suck ass.

Fantastic Justy It would be a half an order or so magnitude harder but making it appear as though the windows on the actual building are the stained glass seems pretty sweet.

No shit! I'm not sure that geometry is strictly, well, possible for a staircase...

Justy--
that's so good it's spooky.

Maybe a bit too spooky?
(And no, I didn't take that picture)

That's a fantastic image, Gringo. I'm all jealous.

(half-jokingly: so when do we found the WGB design studios anyway?)

I do owe a nod & an apology to MCE, although I think I was thinking of Borges & Villa Straylight when I snapped the photos & composed the image. I like Gringo's a LOT.

horribly done due to lack of any real software. but hey.

I like it, but then (as you can probably tell from my ideas), I'm a fan of "simple." Yours definitely works, RP.

I'm currently photoshop/illustrator-less, but this might be a good, minimalist cover picture. Anyone want to give it a once-over?



I personally like the monochrome of the image, with the one little red dot as the only color in the picture. And there's something just RIGHT about the way the cord is placed.

gringo- yes that may be too spooky. 'are you my mummy?'!

remote- woohoo!

*shudders*. True "behind the sofa" material, misty.

Photo I took today. Font is Big Caslon.

That one's very nice, Hasa. Maybe you should make the text a little brighter, though.

Yeah, I agree. Too spooky. People would think it's a horror story or something.
Btw Where's that 'are you my mummy?' from?

You're right. Brighter is better.




Not sure if I picked the right colour, though.

The Christopher Eccleston Doctor Who episode "The Empty Child" (a two parter). Damn creepy.

I want to read this goddamn book.

I ahven't a clue about Photoshop-- I can just to say handle the Gimp for redcing the scale of my pictures, is all.

But I agree: this one's clean and sharp.
Are you thinking Big Brother Watching You?
