That gif just shows how much detail goes into your work. If you could add the gif to the voting board, you would receive so many more votes. But I think that is the problem you have, with not getting as many votes as you deserve. Your final work is so professional, people presume you have just copy and pasted a few images together.

Great covers :cool:

I'm a huge fan, I've been following your work for many years, you are the main inspiration for me to make my own covers, and i'm hoping some day I'll be able to come close to your amazing work.

It's kind of interesting to see the layering, but it doesn't really capture any of the experimentation involved:

The voting results convinced me I must be doing something wrong, but positive comments from my favorite designers feel like evidence I must be doing something right. :)

Wow, I can't imagine a better compliment! Thanks! :cheers:

It bugs me, too. The front arose from a "need" to combine Kim Novak's silhouette, the bridge, and Jimmy Stewart lifting her out of the water. The pieces had to fit together. The back was just trial and error to build something somewhat matching ("It should be based around Jimmy Stewart... what other elements can go here?"). Shape-wise and content-wise, it felt like the best piece to include out of what was available but never really formed into more than that.

That Vertigo Cover is Graphic Design at its very best form! Composition, colors (especially the red-green contrast), the background texture, everything is just great. At the same time, one can spot some analogies to classic Saul Bass works. The only thing that slightly bugs me is the (weird) placement of the tower on the back.

Awesome covers Tim! It's incredible how you manage to do such with almost nothing!
I really envy your talent, it's always a pleasure when you present us with new covers!

Can't wait to see your cover for this month competition (hoping you'll enter again).

Both covers are brilliant pieces of work, but the one for The Natural blew me away as soon as I saw it.

Perfect balance on the colour palette, and the layout on the back is something else. One of my all time favourites immediately. As soon as I saw it I went and stuck the film on.
