calling all drawfriends! the English translation we're working on for the Black Book of Capitalism ( >>>/leftypol/1122230 ) could use a nice cover ( >>>/leftypol/1164715 ). post ideas, sketches etc here
I have a Makefile the builds the pdf of the book, and it could be adapted to convert one or two images (front + back) into pdfs and then those pdfs using pdfunite (found in the pdfjam package)
there are many ways to go about this, see

>>2759to be more constructive it's probably better to give off oopsie whoopsie vibes like
>>2753 does
something along the lines of "look at what you made me do!" could also work
>>2759Gives off these vibes
Kinda cool
>>2768 (me)
Or just use something similar, there's probably loads of bangers hidden away that cover the topic perfectly
>>2767Agree tbh a memey cover is funny for posting it to the board but it wouldn't be taken as seriously on somewhere like libgen
whoops, meant
>>2766 for
>>2764>>2765what if you put the title on a tombstone in the front
and there was a giant graveyard behind it but faint
>>2770I think it would look better if it was just unending rows of graves from an aerial angle, with "The Black Book of Capitalism" written above it as a normal title
I couldn't find an angle as extreme as I wanted but the last image I found it pretty kino
>>2766noice
>>2774not bad
>>2775should be blacker
>>2781 (me)
Gotta say I prefer A, although I did it just by removing the black from one and placing it over the other, so that's why there's two of them and there's probably a smarter and better looking way to do it
>>2778>>2780>>2781Waaay too dark
Also
>>2771 images #2 and #3 hit harder imo due to the continuous graves aspect (emphasizing the way larger count of deaths under capitalism vs socialism)
>>2768i gotchu, here's a mockup of just that. I did change the red to purple so it's less communist colors, and to evoke that francis bacon vibe.
>>2781this looks dope, though the thumbnail looks almost entirely black. If the crosses could be thicker or brighter, plus a nice title and author, and it'd be perfect
>>2786Okay now this is bussin fam
Can the pages be made wider and shorter? Or do they have a set resolution
>>2766 >>2759 >>2753jej maybe for shorter more memey versions, certainly make nice chapter breaks
>>2774This looks pretty professional.
>>2778I kinda like how at first glance one doesn't see what it is, then it's like "oh, OH", but the gist of
>>2770 is there. I don't really like the American flag or chapel imo because it makes it look cluttered and "US bad" exclusively.
>>2784Solid '"but"' looks like it came out in the 70's or something so looks old if that make sense? Like I'd expect to see it in a second hand bookshop. Cool "retro" edition cover though, just doesn't really pop to me on a modern bookshelf.
>>2824This is a good default cover really.
>>2828fuaaark that one hits hard. Very attention grabbing, and gauranteed to get banned. Big zine vibes, but this cover eminates pure agitation. But. it would also turn people off.
>>3019Tried to tell dall e to do it.
Kinda meh.
>>3020Yeah looks a bit too edgy
Good for a band though
