Playing with potential masthead/cover design

I started mucking around with some potential masthead/cover work. The illustration on the cover is A PLACEHOLDER that I shoved on there just to see how it would look with one in place. The text is also really bad, so uh, placeholder status on that too.

Also, I discovered that it's possible to export PDFs from Photoshop, so if we're still having layout issues, I could definitely BS something together. I doubt Photoshop is all that suited to the task but, well, it's a program I know.

PS please ignore that I appear to have typo'd "planewalker". Derp.

I have to admit, while I think quarterly is internally the best goal, I'm wary of attempting to fulfill a guarantee regarding our publishing schedule.

Re: Playing with potential masthead/cover design

I've got an outside artist working on a cover design for issue two right now. She's done most of our art for my campaign wikis on Obsidian Portal and she rocks.

Will share when I've got a rough image or two.

@Anerta: Weird, I had an extended response following my initial comment that was eaten.

Wanted to say I liked the actual masthead. I also liked the image you used.

@Loki: Glad to hear it!

Re: Playing with potential masthead/cover design

Okay, I need a short list of preferred images or scenes.

@Sciborg what content might we want to key off of?

We don't start doing planar features till issue 3, correct?

Issue 2 would probably benefit from a Sigilian cover. Either that or something dealing with a celestial.

Re: Playing with potential masthead/cover design

In the bag. Do we have preferred stats for submissions? (Pixel dimensions, RGB vs CMYK, etc.) Let me know and we'll have something cooking soon.

Re: Playing with potential masthead/cover design

In the past our only request was 300 dpi for images, IIRC.
