Need For Speed: Undercover *Cover Contest*

Linkin · 07-21-2008

Ladies and gentlemen, now that NFS: Undercover has been announced it's time to have a photoshop contest! Let's see who can design the best cover for the game. Feel free to use screenshots from any previous NFS title, pictures of real or imaginary cars, any fonts, original images and program you want! It's up to you, so have at it!

- The final image size is to be 500x750 pixels
- The final image is to be .JPG format.
- Contest ends August 20th, 2008.
- Only one final entry per person.
- Entries should be submitted to me, Linkin, via PM. I will save all of the images until judging takes place.

The winning entry and author will be displayed in a news announcement on the front page!

Get your imaginations rolling, NFSCars!

Sinister · 07-21-2008

Sounds Fun, we needed something fun for the month of August. Good plan Linkin, I can't wait to see the talent of the members.

Jordmaniac2 · 07-21-2008

Can we draw our entries?

Linkin · 07-21-2008

Yes! Feel free to draw or paint your entry and scan them in or even take a picture of it.

Imprezzive · 07-21-2008

This seems quite interesting...

Mr.Ramos · 07-21-2008

I think I'll give it a go.

FOX · 07-21-2008

That's very interesting idea. Got 2 questions though:

1) are entries posted here, accepted for the contest?
2) only one chance to post the contest cover or we can post more?

t3ku · 07-21-2008

Didnt know about this till EL informed me....hrmm...might come up with something >_>

Sinister · 07-21-2008

This contest is Limited to One Entry per user.

Force-Fed R34 · 07-21-2008

I'm finished...no one can steal mine since I put my game 'firm' s logo on it, Infineon Games. I am posting a XBOX 360 version of my cover.

Front Cover:
Image removed, as per contest rules. -S. #4

Linkin · 07-21-2008

Quick change of rules, do NOT post your final entry here. Voting or judging will be done anonymously (your name will not be attached to your entry when voting) to avoid any bias or favoritism. If you've already posted your entry it's still accepted, but from now on don't.

Force-Fed R34 · 07-21-2008

^ok.

edlemur · 07-21-2008

I'm satisfied with mine

Linkin · 07-21-2008

The entries will be judged by an independent panel of 5 judges who are active in the community and staff on this site, this will make deciding more efficient and prevent a tie.

OD211 · 07-22-2008

Mind if ask one question? Do we have to follow a specific theme? (aside from "Want cars damnit!")

Sinister · 07-22-2008

I believe there was no specific theme other than it being 'need for speed, and undercover'.

marinos · 07-22-2008

I will enter but the size you give i'snt ideal.What about you find some official boxarts and remove the art? Because my image would have to be very stretched

Imprezzive · 07-22-2008

Check your PM list, Linkin.

Size Limitations are due to the frontpage being a specific size.

adjust your image accordingly..

Linkin · 07-22-2008

All entries are saved, we have 6 so far. Nice work fellas!

Nikusakken · 07-22-2008

It's a cool idea. Creating mine now!

V!LLain · 07-23-2008

Hello !
My first post on this site and I have 2 questions:

1. Does we must make a front and back cover for the contest ?
2. Where do we post the pictures ?

Mike Geise · 07-23-2008

Just a front cover is fine and you will submit your entries to Linkin

marinos · 07-23-2008

Ehehe it's finished.Waiting it to upload...

Yes, you can draw your cover by hand using whatever materials you want. Feel free to put any car you want on the cover, you can even make up brand new ones if you want!

Force-Fed R34 · 07-23-2008

Oh damn it, I found a new pic for my cover. Oh well, I'm OK with my current cover.

joker5742 · 07-24-2008

's been a while since I've been on here, about how good are these entries normally? Is it unfair to enter as one who's done work like this before for pay, and has years of formal training?

[EDIT] Jesus.... What's it been, four years since I've been on here? I need a new sig... that's just embarrassing...

Everyone is allowed to enter. I look forward to seeing your entry.

Lil King · 07-24-2008

Hey I need more details about this game to come up with a cover design.

FOX · 07-25-2008

One matter I forgot about: how do we send our submissions to Linkin since PMs can't have image or any file attachments? Imageshack.com links?

Hello I'm new to the forums. Just type in google 'free image hosting without registering', click on one of those, upload the picture and copy and paste the link. Well that's what i did anyway!

Good Luck!

GTR · 07-25-2008

sweet. I'm joining the contest.

you're screwed.

FOX · 07-25-2008

LOL I hope I don't screw up. This is 1st time I use PS for more serious business than roaming around canvas with rectangle tool

If I get around to it, that is. It'd cut into my gaming time

Precious little to be found on this game.

Also... Anyone heard this:
