I want to get this sorted next. Text is ready and I can sort the ebook pretty sharpish too, but we need a cover.
If you'd like to contribute something else, you've got until the end of February 2012 to do it. Then this excellent collection of stories goes live... Please post entries up in this thread.
Rules:
1. Design a cover page for the upcoming Oolite anthology 'Alien Items'
2. Ideally should reflect an aspect of one, more or some of the stories featured in the anthology (list below)
3. Should be available in png format at a resolution of 1650x2550
4. Link a low res jpg here on this thread for viewing
