COVERAMA VOL. 2 - ROMANCE NOVELS This contest is called "Coverama" because the focus will be on creating a cover design of some sort each round. We won't just be doing comic covers either, but also DVD covers, magazine covers, book covers, CD covers, posters, video game covers and anything else we might come up with.Here is how it is going to work (for this round anyway): - Based on a theme, participants will design a Romance Novel cover, submit it to me, and then members will vote on the cover they like the most. Theme: Romance Novels (suggested by Emmie)! Using any relationship from the Whedonverse, create a book cover that resembles a romance novel. Pretty simple. We've all seen them before, and you can Google them to get ideas. Rules: - Covers may only feature two characters. The best screen caps to use will most likely be those of characters kissing, touching, being intimate, whatever. Or you can also create your own scene. Whatever works best for you. - If you don't want to use screen caps or comic art, original/hand drawn art is allowed! - There is no size requirement for the covers, since the voting thread will have thumbnails that you will click on to see the actual size of each cover. Make sure the image is in the basic shape of a paperback novel though. - Covers MUST HAVE a title and author - Only one submission per member. Also, if you want to download and use the BUFFY and ANGEL fonts for your covers, click HERE for the Buffy font, and HERE for the Angel font. PLEASE SUBMIT A COVER TO WYNDAM BY JUNE 28 @ 11:59 p.m. EST. VOTING WILL START ON JUNE 29. Enjoy! Remember to read the rules carefully!

I have an idea, but it I don't know if it would work. I'm gonna PM, and ask, because if I post it here, and it is allowed, it may give away my cover.

I've got some ideas. I guess I will give this a shot. I have read enough cheesy romance in my life. I should be able to do this.

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Sarah in black hair, looking pale and gotic, dark make up? She's looking straight foward but because of the angle we mostly just see the left side of her face. It might be from this shooting www.ezthemes.com/previews/s/smgwall.jpgReally need it for my cover. EDIT- I'm going to restain myself from using a actual porn romance novel and photoshooping characters faces to the bodies. It would look hilarious tough.

Is this the photoshoot you're looking for? smg-france.net/photos/thumbnails.php?album=187Also, this round sounds like fun. Will give it a go at some point!

Right photoshoot, but not the pic I'm after. *googling away* -EDIT Found another picture, and made a cover. I'm pretty sure it's good enough to be used as a actual cover, but that doesn't mean that you guys can't come up with anything better than what I've already made. We slayalivers are pretty good. Well, I got ten more days to come up with something better. Although, it's Spuffy. Might win just because of that
