Designer of the Week

[bazzah]

This weeks featured designer is Arkflip!

Please join us in celebrating Arkflip by posting one or more of your favourite covers he's made thus far.

It doesn't matter if the cover has already been posted by someone else.

Arkflip is one of the HiRes 'originals'. And although it takes him a long time to produce a cover, they are always worth the wait

Considering how important of a figure he's been in our community, I always expect 25 pages of results to come up when searching for Arkflip. Then again, for a guy whose design style features such careful, deliberate choices, it's fitting that he's been able to achieve so much esteem through a relatively limited amount of covers.


For me, this is probably the ultimate Arkflip cover, design approaching poetic heights:




I can't believe this was a decade ago, but back when the HiResChallenge was a single-title battle The Proposition stands out as an underdog movie choice that fueled what was probably one of the best turnouts we ever had. And, again, this is kind of the classic Arkflip format of choosing a single image to capture a film and giving it plenty of breathing room:




This one is just really well-made, full of texture and details. As exciting as it is to see someone thrive in their trademark style, it's also a treat to see them try something a little different and still hit a home run:

I love everyone of his covers and he's become a great friend over the years as well... has it really been a decade since that HRC for 'the proposition'? One that hasn't been chosen for this thread so far is:

So many excellent covers but my favourite has to be Hacksaw Ridge! The whole cover is stunning, the use of images is great and it definitely looks like it should be the retail cover.

Ark easily has some of the best covers on the site to this day, and it's always a joy to look back at his work


These has great layouts and truly show the power of using neutral colors the right way:








Ark is also a great collaborator! Making his style known and making something seamless at the same time:
