Geography coursework dont count, thats right :D

so are we still supposed to use movie images? This is going to be tough

so are we still supposed to use movie images? This is going to be tough

I don't think you have to use movie images:shrug:

That wasn't as hard as I expected ... I'm done.
(I was going for the UK adult edition look)

BabyWerewolf - thats if fab...

Stephenie - Ofcourse you can use movie images if you want to, anything.. just no fanart (normal art is ok) and animation is also a no no...

Here's my entry-I tried to give it a kind of drawn feel, not so much just collaging pictures.:

Oh wow Rainie, that's beautiful!

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/Andarin/dh.jpg

I can take part, right? Here it is ;)

Wow, that's great, immortal_death! The pumpkins are fab, and really well blended.
Raineie, that's as good as the other one :clap:

Oooh everyones is so good!!!
Bahaha here is mine:

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h152/emmaleigh_x/hphd.jpg

I absolutely loved the original picture!

why do i get the feeling that mine's the worst?? :scared:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o238/Hanz_1192_1/2.jpg

No, it's really good. The bit with Voldemort's face could have been blended a bit bette,r but other than that it's awesome!

thanku...but i'm still not happy with it. i tried...but out of all the blend modes, that one was best...and however low i made the opacity or however soft the eraser, there was always some kind of outline to his face ( :grumble: )....it just looked best like this.

enough with my rambling...i'm heading over to LIMs for chocolate :D *nervously nibbles*

Wow, that's great, immortal_death! The pumpkins are fab, and really well blended.
Raineie, that's as good as the other one :clap:

Thank you! Love yours too, its creepy <- Perfect!

Everyone's entries look great so far! :clap:

I can't decide! Well hare goes but it might change be final submittal time. :D


Beautiful entries! How are you guys putting them into your post directly?

I have a photobucket account. It's an image hosting site.

Thanks Hermione82 I had never used the image code feature. Having sizing issues though. The original is sized right but when I post the link it is too big.

remember...
vote for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place..
give a reason for why you voted like you did..

:D Good Luck to all...

1-ranie_hp-Great blending and use of color:tuL
2-BabyWerewolf-I like how the spiderwebs encircle the whole thing
3-Hanz_aka_Ginny-I like how harry is sharpened though voldemort could be blended a bit better

1st: Emma Lee, I like the green tone you used and the image looks great!
2nd: Rainie_hp, I really like the original format you used and the blue tone really worked with the image.
3rd: Sulihawk, I like the colours combimed with the B&W to make that effect.

1st ~ EmmaLee, stunning effect and simplicity, it just speaks.
2nd ~ Rainie_hp, really has atmosphere and mood.
3rd ~ BabyWerewolf, Intricate and delicate while at the same time creepy must have taken a lot of time.

1st: BabyWerewolf - i really like the spider webs acting as a border, and the original picture with the ominous shadow in the center.

2nd: Rainie_hp - i really like the blue, spooky mood.

3rd: Maraudian - i really like the fiery red's you've used which seems to scream danger.


thanks shmcminn for the vote!

My votes:

1. hanz_aka_ginny: like the way it is done, everything looks well done, like the colors and I never could imagine using movie images to still represent book cover so perfectly!
2. BabyWerewolf: Like the spooky feeling of it! Fits perfectly!
3. EmmaLee: Another one with spooky feeling! Like the use of green color, its so grim and creepy

Nice job everyone! :clap: :clap:

1st: Sulihawk - nice colour/black and white combination, full but not cluttered, looks very nice and sophisticated.

2nd: hanz_aka_ginny - Very good colours and image combination. Lovely blending, too, and layout. The only thing I don't like is Voldemort, who doesn't really fit with the blending and texture of the rest.

3rd: rainie_hp - Love the colour scheme and the layout (looks convincingly like the existing ones) Good image choice and very spooky atmosphere.

my votes:

BabyWerewolf:I really love the spiderweb in the background, and how it captivates the darkness of the title. Defenitly think this one should get the first place.

EmmaLee:I love the darkness of it, plus the whole idea of the cementery one. It is just a really great cover. 2nd place for it, for sure.

Maraudian: just really love how there is a lot going on, and the way it looks like the book´s "on fire". 3rd place for it, I think.

1st babyWerewolf: Simply great! Looks mysterious too...
2nd Sulihawk: It's realy beautiful, the border is amazing too! I like the highlight, just not the color. I don't think yellow was a good choice at all, but other than that it's great.
3rd Rainie_hp: Nice picture, but I don't like the font.

1st Place: Rainie_hp - Very mysterious and just... cool.
2nd Place:BabyWerewolf - Again, mysterious. And spooky.
3rd Place: Sulihawk - I honestly wish the American book covers did look like this. Love the border.

I also want to compliment Immortal_Deaths because... :lol: (If it wasn't meant to be funny... :scared:)
