Fun with Photoshop

[goodolmike]

This is kinda fun. On another site that we will not mention (rhymes with macebook), I stumbled across a picture by bobaloo that he referred to as Pen and Pixel. It was a total blast from the past.

Here's an example of P & P.



The formula is diamond-studded wording, lots of really bad photoshop, a solid color border, and most importantly the background should have fancy cars or mansions or stacks of money.

I make a mix tape every year called Good Times, and I try to do something unique each year for the cover. Back in 2000, I did my own Pen and Pixel.



Ha ha. I'm still proud of it. :)

Here's this year's.

Oh, I'd like to see that. Somethingawful? Is that a website or someone here?

There is a NIN cover in there, but it wasn't the one I'm thinking about. It might have been in some design forum where the project was to take a classic album and redesign it the style of '90s rap.

Yay! There's some really great stuff there. I liked the Smiths one and the Neutral Milk Hotel one.
Awesome.
