Photoshopping with Pip n' P-Bal

[Pip Madeley]

They go:

Theme/Other: Ye olde Doctor Who!
Language: Forsooth, ye gads!
Sex/Nudity: Lilith... not the witch version.
Violence: Drowning on dry land.

Glad you like - it'll probably go on the PS site at some point.

Bumper update from Pip's hard drive:







Gridlock's main image doesn't really fit the space too well, but I wanted the BBC homepage designs for each one, so I had to just leave it as it is... Keepsake's a triumph though, I think.

Nice covers - the only thing I would say, is that I think it would look better if the Judoon's head on the one, and the Doctor's head on the other, were complete (if you see what I mean). Although, HST, you may have decided to strictly avoid going up over the roundels - or for that matter, maybe the BBCi pages don't have the complete heads. But that's really very nitpicky indeed, and doesn't detract from such delights as the "Cat/woman shagging" warning on the back of "Gridlock" (at least I think that's what it says).

BTW, I love Rob's nonchalant, somewhat-007y, pose for the "Keepsake" cover.

They've come out very well - the BBC Website is proving a fantastic source for photos It's lovely to see them in the old stylee as well!

Only thing I would say is that Freema is a bit poorly positioned in the Smith and Jones one, but aside from that they're looking fantastic. Good show

Mmm, I agree, but sadly it was the best position to fit everyone in. I did contemplate going into the roundels as Andrew suggested, but they're only for my shelf, I didn't want to spend too much time on them.

Insert lewd comment here.

[P-Bal]

It would be the trip of a lifetime...



Or...



Phone RTD now and demand this becomes reality!

[Pip Madeley]

Young P-Bal shows promise with his Photoshopping!

[P-Bal]

I'm particularly a big fan of the softening/blur tool.

[Andrew Curnow]

In the first pic, Doctor P-Bal appears to be pinching Billie's arse. It's not a criticism, by the way, just an observation.

[P-Bal]

Both have been the pleasure of many.

[Pip Madeley]

Here's something I've made for work (once again in my own time, but it gets me noticed)...



Not the finished version, I've got to have it approved, but I like it. For you trivia geeks, the font I used is the same one used in the 1980-86 Doctor Who titles.

My home-made cover for the Dalek two-parter:



Note the head popping out of the area.

[Andrew Curnow]

Excellent, Pip. And... three l's, one h

[Dirk Gently]

...and two baps!

[Pip Madeley]

Not done Lazarus yet, I've been working on this beauty for the 5.1 Surround DVD of Genesis' Duke...



and this one for Abacab:



I'm really pleased with them, they look nice and professional.

[Pip Madeley]

Ending a busy but enjoyable day of Photoshopping:



I think the next colour at the bottom will have to be red.

[Andrew Curnow]

I don't know much about music, but are Phil Collins & co Doctor Who fans? Let's consider the evidence:

Me and Sarah Jane
Dodo / Lurker
Whodunnit?

And I mean, crikey, their band is even named after Davros' debut story!!1

[Pip Madeley]

It's a conspiracy!

Two more covers, took about an hour each:





And a side view:



They seem to have gone down well with the Genesis fans.

[Martin Penny]

Mr Pip, how do you go about printing all these covers?
I can never seem to get mine to work, they always end up coming out too big or something.

[Si Hunt]

Bless!

Si.

I print them off using Microsoft Word - if you're printing a standard DVD cover, just paste the image into Word, resize it to 27.3cm (w) x 18.34 (h) then it'll print out at the right size.

Ithankyou Pip, thats worked quite nicely

[Pip Madeley]

Yer welcome mate My final two Genesis covers...





Completing the 1976-82 set...



Probably means very little to most of you, but this is my showing-off thread
