Description

As you can tell, the title box is empty. I'm looking for an artist to create some sort of picture to be used there.

It could be just the title photoshopped to look nice, or a real painting, photo, line art or whatever. The art would be used at least here on Wreck A Movie, but with your permission possibly also on the website, in marketing and so on, and as something to give me inspiration. I will definitely print it out into a poster and hang on the wall next to my computer. (You don't have to give permission to anything but usage here, any help is appreciated!)

The cover could include any of the following visual elements:
The Second Coming of Jesus
A old wooden building
The same building burning down
A goth guy
An alternative girl or several (emo, punk, rasta...)
The city of Turku in South-Western Finland ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turku )
A young boy child, innocent to the point of being fascist/creepy
A suburban demon (of the Arabian ghoul variety, preferably)
The symbol in the picture.

If you only have ten minutes with Photoshop, that's fine! Create something to replace the white box! Let's throw some visual craziness together!

This could get weird...

My mind does work slightly differently to most, so the answer may not be 100% normal. So please forgive me if it gets weird.

The more I look at the image I see different things.

1) The first thought is that is an ancient Greek symbol something to do with bull worship.

2) a vase or urn (funerary?)

3) a key hole.

4) Two birds standing back to back

5) a bicycle clip used to keep your trousers from gettng caught in the bicycle chain.

6) a close up of a Mr Man i.e. eyes closed, a big rounded nose a toothbrush moustache, and a straight mouth.

7) a claw

8) a view of a piece of machinery

9) a top hat with large Celtic horns

10) a rubber teat

11) a duck with its beak stuck in a hole

I did say it could be weird ;-)

Regards Charles

Wow, EXCELLENT comments! The farther out, the better :)

Most of them I can kind of see, but could you elaborate on the bicycle clip? Like, what is it? :)

The image of a top hat with horns is haunting! I can easily picture somebody wearing that in a Guillermo de Toro fantasy movie!

Super simple mock-up

My first attempt includes just the symbol and the title combined with a little smudge effect. Not the greatest graphic design in the world, but better than the empty white box.
