Designer Of The Week

[ctaulbee]

This weeks featured designer is Bazzah!

Please join us in celebrating Bazzah by posting one or more of your favourite covers he has made.

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

Bazzah, everyone knows that name and in addition to being our fearless leader, he is also one of the most enduring and highly creative designer's we have here at HiRes. Since opening this site 15 years ago he has contributed near 1500 custom covers and labels to the gallery and with over 70K downloads I'd say he had done a few things right. In addition to filling a great many requests, he also enters many HRC contests here at the site and has demonstrated on numerous occasions he possesses that much coveted ability to garner the voters approval with his striking original creations.

Bazzah has been around so long and does so many things behind the scenes everyday to keep this train on the track that I think we often forget just how much he contributes to the gallery and to the legacy of our hobby with tutorials, WIP advice, resources and a great many other things often overlooked.

Was good looking through Baz’s gallery and remembering all the great covers he has produced, a few have already been mentioned that I like so I’ll go with another that is really good.

Congratulations our beloved boss on being Designer of the Week!
You're gallery is full of quality covers so it's not an easy task to pick a top three as I feel there's at least 10 covers that would've made the list for me. But I went with these three:

I'm not a Star Trek fan (or Star Wars for that matter), but this is a true masterpiece. Superb placement of all the characters, outstanding work with their shadows and the rim lights. Awesome work with all the ships over and behind the TT, great use of the planet in the background and how you've made that white lighting in the back with the fade to the stars on the left looks perfect. The back compilation is superbly done, great use of the different head sizes and those blue lines around it looks fantastic! The bonus features also looks magnificent as well as the screens and even the template. I've learned one or two things here on how much of the template color one can actually change and still make it look good, so thanks for that . All in all this is a true masterpiece, one which you can be very proud of


This is a cover that I really, really, really like. You've done brilliant work with the characters on the front, the TT looks sick, fantastic job on all the plants, bushes, car and the sign in the back (nice touch with the claw rip btw ). The background sky and colors also look great. And it just continues on the back, very nice cutout of Joel on the back and again brilliant use of the plants and stuff in the background and of course the tentacles of monster as well . The tag line and SF looks splendid and very nice work on the screens.


This cover right here shows how much of a brilliant and creative designer you are imo. I guess we can say "it's all in the TT", but the brilliant use of polaroids on this cover is outstanding! You've made everything looks so realistic, the front polaroid with the blood on the top, the TT as the polaroid name and the tag line as the text, even the bloody fingerprint, pure brilliance imo! And it's just as good on the back, all the polaroids look fantastic, the camera looks great and the blood looks super realistic and the shine on all the polaroids just takes this to the next level. I haven't seen the movie, but it seems like all the different pieces in this cover are significant to the movie.

I'm looking forward to see more of your great work in the future, again congratulations buddy!

Wow, I am truly grateful for everyone's kind words Thank you so much!

Speed, I cannot take credit for the front artwork of Love and Monsters. It is actually a poster

[abendhei]

Congrats Baz. You have created many great cover.

Not mentioned yet but also my favorites:

High quality cover with a cool front battle compilation and screen bar on the back.


Love the coloring and all the small and great effects, a real eye-catcher.


What a fine work of art. Looks so precious

Bazzah spends so much time celebrating the work of others, it's always nice to see the spotlight turned back at him.

He's notable for his talent and ability to take on a wide variety of titles, but in particular Bazzah is one of the greats when it comes to putting special attention into back covers:











He's also really, really good at putting the right pieces together. If I remember correctly, this was a quick design he whipped up that surprised him by perfectly captivating downloaders on the way to earning him a Cover of the Month:

Darren not only runs this forum and fills the gallery with custom art and requests but he's also a guy that gives advice to everybody who's asking for it, he always takes the time to respond on nearly every thread and - most importend - he's a good friend!

My favourite covers of yours are:







I remember the time when you did The Fate of the Furious. Just read the course in the chat, that was a funny process...
