Status: offline 		my draft concept for the box cover using the same recipe as the above screens, please note the box art isn't part of my brief so I put this up purely for those of you who are curious as to how I would approach the job, IMO the cover has to have some elements of the original to keep the recognition thing going, anyhow perhaps David and Marc will like it and I get the gig! fingers crossed

Screen 6 is a perfect example of good density, foreground to background. For maximum impact, always keep it simple!

Maybe too busy, but I like it very much.

Also an exquisite shot of the HMS Hood, leading HMS REPULSE and HMS Nelson in the Med. The glory is almost too much to bear!

Rob, maybe you could try your recipe with this one for a new splash screen ?

I like the tanks in nr 3. Would it be possible to see the tanks on the european background?

Nr 6 gives me a feel of the original box. Great work.

And last. Hood sailing on the flaming sea almost brings tears to my eyes. Please include it.

Any chance you can make the Battleships stand out more from the background & the flames, as you did for the Me262 in screen #5 or the Battleship in screen #2 ?

Anyway, I think this is looking good !!

More picture, less world, less flames.

These are other Zekes, those that took off from the Shokaku to bomb Pearl Harbor.

Status: offline 		the hood screen with highlighting as suggested, bit of a balance here between image strength and the fact that these are backgrounds, there will be text etc on top and that needs to be legible
