I was just admiring the photo in Artemis's sig and thought of a fun thread. Now, I usually don't ask people to do things I can't, but you guys just might come up with some fun things and I know some of you out there are amazing with photoshop. Even though I'm not. So, here's my challenge for you...

You are an independent graphic designer and you've been given a Stevie Nicks song to design a cover for. We are in a time warp here so this design will be used for the 45 and the 12" but the song can be from any album (and really, wouldn't it be fun to have a 45 single cover for a song from TISL?) And here's the best part. This new single that you are designing the cover for is your favorite Stevie song!

Okay guys, let's see what you got.:blob1::blob2::blob1::blob2::blob1:

Here is a quickie stab at a 45 sleeve for something that should have been in the US... The follow up to "Rooms On Fire" in 1989, "Long Way To Go" (made a double a-side with another single-worthy track from The Other Side Of The Mirror, "Ooh My Love".)

The Stevie spiral image would be a hologram, since she was --in 1989-- a certified holographic sensation:

Breathtaking :o Usually the "putting Stevie's face on another picture" thing doesn't work, but you've done it beautifully, the hair is very Stevie-ish! I love the font colour too.
Just gorgeous :)

I am so amazed. You guys are wonderful. I'm so glad I made this as a challenge and not as a contest because I wouldn't be able to pick one favorite. I love them all. Yay!!!

I won't pick a favorite but I must say the way you made the 45 cover look like a real aged sleeve brings back so many memories. I still have a handful of my old 45s too. I just love this.
