Description The first of what will hopefully be a series of video game cover re-designs based on the well-known Penguin Classics "black band" book covers. Kudos to you if you got the joke without me having to explain it!

This started off as a humorous idea that eventually lead to me traipsing around the neighborhood trying to get suitable photos to use in the designs. These were taken in Ontario, where some trees turn bright red before others (that first cover actually does feature a bright red tree in front of someone's house amongst all the greenery, but you can't really tell since I desaturated so much of it). I found that potted plant on my apartment balcony. I don't know where it came from... Or rather, I know exactly where it came from.

I had two ideas for the covers, so I gave one of them the "RED SEEDS PROFILE" title to make them a little different. I would have liked to do the back and spine as well, but I'd like to do some other game covers first before going on to something that complicated. Anyway, enjoy!

So I'm guessing one would be the standard edition, and the other would be the Director's Cut.

What do you think, Zach?

Awesome! I loved when they did a similar thread over at Something Awful, and this reminds me of that.

And having worked at a bookstore, I know this book series all too well XD

Yeah, I actually didn't find out about that thread until after I did this... Olly Moss kind of started the whole business I believe. I made some others but I might start a separate blog for that project. I'm not a graphic designer but I have a digital camera!

Liking more the one in the right... Simplicity . Though I prefer it without the things in the background.. kinda distracting..

I agree, I like the second one more too. If I do the spine and back I'll probably end up using that one. The leaves were taken from another photo I took of fallen leaves on the sidewalk; surprised it didn't turn out half bad!
