No pen-portraits. This is ART ONLY. Posting just a bunch of text, or a scribble and a vast number of words, will get the thread closed and your account banned.

NO MORE PHOTO-MANIPULATION "art". I'll just delete them. People have been drenching recent threads with several pieces at a time that they've knocked out in photoshop in 2 minutes with no thought at all. I consider this to be taking the piss now.

No more than ONE submission by any one person in any one REMAKE/REMODEL.


So here's the deal:

You are an artist/designer.

You have to put together the cover for #223 of something called NEW WORLDS.

You have been told that NEW WORLDS is the most groundbreaking, forward-looking, ambitious and original science fiction magazine in the world.

And that's it.

A little background: NEW WORLDS was in fact all those things... in the late 60s and early 70s. Its last issue, #222, came out in 1997. A visual history of publication. It was hugely important, made all kinds of new connections and broke all kinds of rules.

So it's your job to imagine the kind of cover that that kind of magazine might have today.

You have one week. Go.

Not sure if Rule#5 would apply to a description of a concept, would it? After all every design has some elements of a story to it.

For example my own design, someone could be inspired to write about an astronaut waking up in a white void staring at a universe the size of a bowling ball (if the writer had been drinking a lot and ran out of good ideas).

That's great, happy accidents. I thought it was just one of your many techniques (I recall seeing it first on the Spiderman R/R yes?). I used a neat little program that I had actually discovered ...
Your best bet for turning your line work and hand drawn typography into vectors is probably Illustrator. Between the pen tool and Live Trace, which should do quite well with clean, solid lines like yours, you're pretty much set. Naturally the interweb is chock full of guides on this.]]> SF COVER REMODEL: New Worlds #223 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8284&Focus=241835#Comment_241835 2010-06-01T01:18:35-07:00 2010-06-01T03:26:02-07:00 Pupato http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=6150 @ALE, thanks a lot for the information : ) i´m still working in 867MHz Power PC G4 with an OSX 10.4 yet, so i guess have to find some old Illustrator version. i´m still working in 867MHz Power PC G4 with an OSX 10.4 yet, so i guess have to find some old Illustrator version.]]> SF COVER REMODEL: New Worlds #223 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8284&Focus=241836#Comment_241836 2010-06-01T01:21:34-07:00 2013-05-22T04:05:26-07:00 Hartter http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8440 didn't have a bunch of time, had an idea though.

Wow that takes me back, I have a blue and white 466 sitting not 3 feet from me that I just bought a new video card for so I can see what old projects I have on it. What you'd be looking for is anything CS2 or higher, I'm almost certain that machine will run cs2 if not cs3. Alternatively you can try and track down a copy of Adobe Streamline, which is what Live Trace used to be before it was folded into the Creative Suite. Drop me a line if you need more info, don't want to derail this into a tech support thread.
