CCShaft was selected as the Judge's Choice winner last week, and he decided that this week
ought to be a Graphics Week.

CCShaft7 also won the public vote by a landslide and the theme he has selected is Classic Album Covers!!

Further explanation of theme, which is chosen by Week 13 Winner, CCShaft7:

Well dust off those old CD’s and Records in the loft/garage and come up with your interpretation of an album cover for any classic album of your choice.

From Thriller to Bat out of Hell - Dark Side of the Moon to Appetite for Destruction - U2 to Nirvana - AC/DC to Abba???… an endless amount to choose from so I just want to see you take your GT5 shots and turn them into a Multi-Platinum selling cover to remember.

Only restrictions are 1: The finished entry is in 1:1 format ( although can be inserted into another scene - *ref below ) and 2: The album title and/or artist is included on the cover.

Cars: Any or none ( just location/scenery also allowed )
Locations: Any
Phototravel: Yes
Unique Requirements: 1:1 format *cover can be used within another scene or environment, Album - Artist included.

I hope this gives everyone a lot of scope to be as creative as they like without relying too heavily on photo-editing skills. So be as free as you want with your artistry and blow me away with the results, but most of all have fun with it.

And remember...
Be creative and have fun!

Being a Photoshop competition, there are no limits on editing. Use every tool at your disposal to
create the desired effect. Feel free to utilise HDR techniques, photo stitching, whatever you like!
Your only real restriction is that you must use some part of a GT5 Photomode image!
The main thing to remember is to be creative and have fun!

If anyone touches Metallica I'll personally shank them*
*Not really. But still don't do it.
 
Is it allowed to make a cover for a single? A bit like promo material for the whole album itself but concentrating on one song?

Or is it strictly for the album itself?

I think I'm ok with that so far as the "song" isn't too obscure for your average joe like me.
My recommendation at this point is that the more recognisable/popular the album/artist then I think that will strike a chord ( bad pun :crazy: ) more with the voting in the poll but I could be proved wrong. My judgement will though be based on concept and interpretation regardless of who or what album/song.
 
Okay I lied, i used AC/DC. Back in Black started when I Hit shuffle so...
Final Entry
 
Think this is my first time entering here. Got the perfect idea for it! ;)

If anyone comes up with the same pic, I wont bother entering mine too :gtpflag:

Finally! You're welcome in this league. Looking forward to your idea.
 
Lovely theme, I don't really have a pic in my folders that suit this, better go snap some new ones.

And nobody do ABBA, I just have to use them. :lol:

I'm feelin' that shots from the front would work better than those from the side.
 
I was thinking about Beach Boys' "409". Does anybody know if that car is available in GT5? Might be sort of Chevy Impala...💡

It was an Impala, but the 65 Vette did have a 396, and the closest to that is the 63 split window.
 
Final Entry

Actual cover.

My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...

Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge...

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.


Listen.

Your welcome Fido :)

My biggest disappointment?? I can't enter this one :( and my little old brain is bursting with stuff I would like to do :crazy:. (keep it bottled CC, keep it bottled.....)
 
Indeed.
We'll have a lot of entertainment.
Let's incubate...
Great idea, CCshaft: I love it!
 
FINAL ENTRY


one of the first CD's I've bought!
original


"....
Speed freak
Faster than a speedin' bullet,
Slow down, if i don't,
If i don't i might just lose it
Locked up
You've got me honey
Locked up under heavy braking
Yeah yeah
Youu know i've got to hang on
Drive too fast i might be last
Oh yeah
......"

If you guys want I'll delete the lyrics from the post. :lol:
Well there goes my idea :lol:

Was going to use my red Fiat Barchetta though :sly:
 
Should have used the font from their first album.

I thought about doing that, since I have the font. But I used a font most similar to what the actual album had (though not for the "Red Barchetta" part).

Edit: Actually, if it's alright with the mods, I would like to change it to change the font. It would be the second time I changed it, but it's still using the same picture, and all that is changed is the font.. So would that count as changing it again? :lol:
