    Default Jun/July/Aug '22 Lite Challenge: Create a Book Cover

    Jun/July/Aug '22 Lite Challenge: Create a Book Cover. .... A 2 month Challenge, because Summer..

    Imagine that you have been commissioned to create the cover for a new book (or the cover for your own book).
    You have free reign to create everything: Title Author Graphics/Artwork,
    and since this is Cartographer's Guild, Bonus Points for including a graphic of a map on the Cover.

    Please remember to title each thread: Jun/July/Aug '22 Lite Challenge: < your title here >

    Also remember to preface each image you want to show up in the thumbnail scraper
    with: ### Latest WIP ### (If you don't, your map won't show up for the voters at
    voting time, which might hurt your chances. ) Try using the WIP Icon to make it nice and easy.

    Please note: If you put more than one image on the same post, only one of them gets picked up by the picture scrapper and it might not be the one you want.

    The challenge will end on or about the 14th of August, after which we'll have 3 days of voting. The winner of this challenge will receive a silver compass, you know you want one!

    Quick rules reminder: The Lite Challenge is open to anyone who has not already won 3 Silver compasses, 1 Gold Compass, or been selected as a featured Cartographer's Choice Map.
    Also, the map has to be started on or after the first day of the challenge, no reusing older maps even if they were not finished, unless you start over from scratch.

    DEADLINE: End of day, August 14th

    I am also looking forward to seeing the entries, this has been a popular theme in the past. We will miss seeing your entries though, the downside of success.

    Similarly... I WOULD enter, because I like this challenge, but I have a golden compass. Though, activity is low enough that I would propose maybe altering the rules to allow people with less than 3 golden compasses/cartographer's choice awards and any number of silvers to enter for a silver to encourage more activity? In the past the rule made sense because there were often over a dozen map entries in a month but now we're seeing 0 with a month to go in a 3 month challenge.

    Okay. I saw the deadline was in August, but there was not any entries so I was not sure if something was up.

    To those of you with Golden Compasses: You can always join just for the challenge.

    IIRC, the last time we did a book cover you gave us a shape to use and a theme of using Band/Musical Artist names. Didn't get a chance to participate in that one, but if I can clear my plate, I just might go with that theme (if not the shape) since I had some ideas for it.
