Wallpaper Mag Custom Cover Submissions Gallery

Always interesting to see what designers do when given the same starting point & tools - here's the gallery of submissions for the August Wallpaper custom cover promotion http://www.wallpaper.com/custom-covers/gallery

"For our August issue, we gave you the chance to play art director for the day and create your own Wallpaper* cover. Creative luminaries James Joyce, Nigel Robinson, Hort, Anthony Burrill and Kam Tang contributed a wide selection of images, graphics and patterns to our online cover application, for you to assemble any way you like. Here are the fruits of your labour."

Swatch MTV Playground Competition

"Use a classic Swatch as a canvas for your creativity. Our online design tool will help you bring to life your very own Swatch-shaped masterpiece." It's a pretty good design tool to use, & fun to do if (like me) you've ever wondered what it would be like to design a Swatch watch...info: http://www.swatchmtvplayground.com/tv/competition

Simple shapes in retro album cover design (Project Thirty-Three)

"Welcome to Project Thirty-Three! The seemingly infinite number of vintage record jackets that convey their message with simple shapes like the dot never ceases to amaze and amuse me. This blog is my shrine to these expressive dots along with their less jovial but equally effective cousins; squares, rectangles and triangles, and the designers that make them come to life on album covers. Other categories include arrows, abstract shapes and typography-only." David, http://www.projectthirtythree.com/ - also see his other blog http://www.grooveisintheart.com/ which focuses on psychedelic graphics and pop art album covers, mmm.

Futurist Art by Arthur Radebaugh

The illustrative work of Arthur C. Radebaugh, 1906-1974 - a dynamic joy to behold...(especially the artwork for BOHN). See more in a great collection here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/sets/72157622518584561/

"Radebaugh was a top-notch commercial illustrator who worked for companies as diverse as Chrysler and Coca-Cola. He was based in Detroit from the 1930s to 1960s, and much of his work anticipated design revolutions in the automotive and other industries. He once described his work as "halfway between science fiction and designs for modern living." from http://www.cartype.com/pages/2913/radebaugh
