Box Art Design Challenge 2: Duke Nukem Forever

Recommended Posts

Challenge Number 2 in the now fortnightly Idle Thumbs Box Art Design Challenge!

I hope for more entries from our resident artists and designers this time. A five-minute jobby is fine, don't worry we won't show it to your employers and get you sacked or laughed at or anything.

Guidelines

You may:

a) Create a beautifully understated visual poetry of graphic design, subverting all the usual expectations of video game promotional artwork. (I recommend keeping use of pre-existing artwork to a minimum for this one).

KEYWORD: GRAVITAS

or

B) Create a satirical mockery of all the usual expectations of video game promotional artwork, plastered with explosions and IGN pullquotes. (Extra marks for humour here*).

*There are no marks.

KEYWORD: AWESOMITUDE!

No prizes, no votes, no deadline, just for fun and awesome.

Challenge #2 Theme:

Duke Nukem Forever!

Yeah, that's a pretty good guideline. I was going to include it the first time round, but I didn't want to discourage people at all. If people are fine with it I will add it in next time.

Hehe yes I did remember that as I was posting the thread. But now you have intimidated all us mere mortals.

Also one of the guidelines says no pre-existing art, and this was done a little while ago. So Spaff and Johnny G are disqualified (Johnny G is of course free to post again on his own behalf because anything he does will be great).

I like the idea of that one, but my brain keeps telling me the logo is a partially obscured 8 ball.

Better ? 1z1wxw4.jpg
