Your MySplice III Covers

thubmnail icon: Your MySplice III Covers

Earlier this week we unveiled MySplice III, Stereogum & team9's annual original mashup compilation. We also requested an album cover and promised a prize to the best one. We got a lot! Thanks. You don't suck at Photoshop. We encourage you to grab the winning .jpg and tag your MP3s with it. Since we got so many great submissions, we're also gonna display a dozen alternatives in case you like one of those better. But obviously we are experts and made the right decision.

Congratuations and thanks to Mark E for designing the official MySplice III album cover. Your $50 Amazon Gift Card is on the way, Mark.

haha, wow, let's just say a lot of these guys shouldn't go into graphic design/illustration.

I love the winning cover, though. No contest.

hi pat. apparently it makes you a moron because this is the internet and if you ain't up on your pitchfork then you're a moron. That's honestly what some people think. And yes, the decimal system is pretentious.

Those who have commented and labeled the alternatives as "pretty bad" can't do any better. Don't turn people down for their effort. Go back to kindergarten.
