CLOSED for entries, OPEN for comments!
This competition was inspired by the release of
Evolution of the Obernewtyn Chronicles Covers from Penguin. It may remind you of our recent
Legendsong Redesign Competition.
The challenge is this: you've been commissioned to re-design the Nightgate covers; the publisher would like 3 new matching covers, for the launch of
The Firecat's Dream.
Use any stock-image photographs and other artwork you wish to come up with a set of covers. Seeing as this is a purely speculative scenario and we're not using these images for anything besides the competition we should be okay to use stock images. Consult the licensing requirements of each individual stock-image website if you are unsure about whether to use a pic or not.
The competition is open from now, until the
30th November 2011.
Judges:
None required - this will be based on a poll posted in Artistsmerge at the closing submission date.
Submission Guidelines:
- Images must be submitted in .jpg, .png or .gif format. NO .BMPs!
- Images need to contain the following text somewhere:
- book title ("Billy Thunder and the Night Gate", "The Winter Door", and "The Firecat's Dream")
- "Book # in the Nightgate Trilogy"
- "Isobelle Carmody"
- Images must be 340 x 480 pixels
