    Halo Cover Contest

    Okay u guys well i have decided to have a cover art contest!!!! yay!!! Now i know this contest is being started in the middle of alot of other contests... but just like the fan fic contest.... it wont be due till a while.... well here is the stuff..

    Basically u are supposed to make a cover for a fan fic... this can be any fan fic you choose ( THAT IS NOT YOUR OWN FAN FIC)..... that is in this forum!!!

    Size: 
    That is basically the size but only pay attention to the front cover.... ( i know it says Jacob Grodman and Rise of the Covenant.. i just copied paste....sry)

    Another thing.... the cover does not have to look like the one i just showed.... i simply showed it for size...

    Thing that must be on there: 

    1)You must have the authors name towards the bottom of the cover.
    2) It must have the title of the book at the top.
    3) all pictures and things used to create the cover MUST pertain to the book... or else i take off points...
    4) somewhere there you MUST mention that it is an XBOX Game ( like the part in the pic where it says Jacob Grodman)
    5) it must say Halo and then ":" and then the title of the book...example: " Halo: Operation Dud Doodoo"
    Due: ( Pending)

    Hey well i have gotten the judging sheet done.... here it is

    -Art skill: 60 points
    -Art theme: 10 points
    -Relevance to story outline: 20 points
    -Appearance as a book cover (how good the art would look on the cover of a book)-10 points
    Whoever has the most points out of 100, wins

    At the Top of the picture, in Halo writing, should be the words of the title of the fanfic you chose
    beneath, near the bottom in any font, should be the author of that particular fan fic you chose

    I am lookin forward to all the entries.... if u guys would plz tell me before hand if u are going to enter in the contest plz! thank you!

     i will be updating this post frequently so dont think i am done yet.... well good luck Smile

    What happened to the old one?
    Outside tripping in the broken city.
    Outside kicking in the broken city,
    there's nothing wrong with that.

    Re: Halo Cover Contest

    Avid I can't believe he's already got more contestants than you did for yours. And yours was, is, very popular.

    I'll think about entering. It depends if I'm busy.

    Re: Halo Cover Contest

    hey cmon lets not dis Avid.... his contest was just about making a cover for his book only and to see which one is the best.... while mine is .... u can pick andy fan fic we posted on this site and do a cover for it.... it is more general... lots of room i guess u could say... well anyways i just got home from a graduation party... and the last day of school is tomorrow.....so i might put up the judging sheet tomorrow night or Friday Night.... and when i do i will be looking for another judge... maybe two Stick out tongue 

    P.S. i will be looking for graphics experienced judges... but of course i want alot of people to turn in entries... i have a feelling this is goin to be a great contest... oh and the awards well.....i guess the winner will get the Prophet of Regret Cover Artist Award and be the cover for which ever fan fic the person makes it for....

    Re: Halo Cover Contest

    I dont think you should have Graphics skilled judges, because they wont be looking for whichever looks the best, they will be looking for whichever took the most skill.

    but its his book... and he will probably use whichever one he likes best... would be strange to have a different one win and him use a completely different one....

     

    i might try this.... probably wont tho

    Re: Halo Cover Contest

    that was the point im trying to make!  If i make an easy cover, with little or no filters on Gimp; then NT makes one with a dozen filters, a Graphics skilled judge may choose NT's because it took more skill, not necessarily looks better!

    Re: Halo Cover Contest

    but that would be BAD if PoR dosn't like the one that the more graphical person makes.....

     

    its up to PoR what wins... because its HIS book the cover is being made for........ 

     

     

     

     edit: omg.... i cant believe what i did..... i thought you said that he should have graphical people voteing.....

     

    im sorry man :(

    Re: Halo Cover Contest

    lol

    and BTW, read the rules one more time.  He said this contest is for any books cover, not necessarily his own.
