Is that not the point? To be inspired by Boards of Canada, everyone's favorite band on these forums?MrMessiah wrote:I was torn between LongShadows and DaveJ. Voted DaveJ in the end, cos even though I *love* LongShadows design, I can't help feel like the hexagons, the 666 and everything, is sort of BoC's symbols, you know?

to be inspired is one thing, overt usage of boc symbolism is another thing entirely.Dudeman162 wrote:Is that not the point?

don't get me wrong, longshadows' design is awesome on its own. i feel that davej's design best fits in with the oot series as a whole.
you may think that you have not been programmed, but you have.

Yes, but long shadow artwork is the only one that doesn't have the generic nature artwork all the others have. I'm not undermining anyone's work here, for they're all awesome, but the nature theme has been overdone.[/list]powershoes wrote:to be inspired is one thing, overt usage of boc symbolism is another thing entirely.Dudeman162 wrote:Is that not the point?

y'see I disagree, I feel that there's already sort of an overaching theme in the artworks. If they were all radically different then I'd agree but I think there's a standard and DaveJ's art works well at exploring the boundaries set by what has already been before, but still being original and different.Dudeman162 wrote:Yes, but long shadow artwork is the only one that doesn't have the generic nature artwork all the others have.

I think GH hit it on the head when he said "tasteful"
that and my contribution, if it has or has not been accepted, fits #1 more than #3 more, in my opinion. :p
