It's only mostly false.

Isn't false a binary distinction?

Alphonse Doinel has my vote. That's excellent.

I think Steven's redo of domino's cover along with Alphonse's are actually really good. Frankie's first is good enough despite the queasy colors, which is still saying a lot as he spent fifteen minutes on it. I was starting to get worried after the end of the first page but, yes, good stuff.

Some nice ideas but monstrous fonts...
So far, only Paupaus' cover captures somewhat the essence of the film.

Yeah, my cheek is sore from creating that cover, but the blurb is legit. Priceless, eh?Finch wrote:Words fail me re that Variety blurb on Atlantafella's cover

Re: So You Think You Can Design a Better Modern Times Cover?
it seems mr. designer guy deleted the tweets people discussed late last week, but Domino linked to this saying he had posted it as the starting point/draft idea for the cover...is this real? Did he really make a cover w/ Times New Roman as the main font?
I find all of this quite hilarious, but the fact that Criterion green lighted the cover they did is hard to understand. It's just lazy, sophomoric photoshop garbage. anyone could do it. there is nothing remotely inspired about it, it rips off A Clockwork Orange, and shows extremely limited graphic design comprehension. I'm not a designer, but I know what good designs look like, and this ain't it. It's flat out boring. I can only pray they don't make it a template for future covers using the same spare theme and overwhelming blankness.

Let's be fair: How many other drummers are good designers? Lars Ulrich? Phil Collins? Buddy Rich? Chris Mars (actually...!) He's practically a Renaissance Man. Let's hope he's not a comedian as well -- he'd be giving Phil Hartman a run for his money.
