30. Back to the Future
Nominated by: Anagram (1/6 remaining)
https://cdn.empireonline.com/jpg/70/0/0/1280/960/aspectfit/0/0/0/0/0/0/c/features/59e8d795405a5c6805947751/10%20Back%20to%20the%20Future.jpg

This poster tells you all you need to know about this movie, containing all the elements of a successful movie poster whilst still maintaining a now iconic scene and original idea. The DeLorean time machine, the way Marty looks shockingly at his watch, the burning hot fire streaks created from time travelling, these are all key ideas in the movie and subtly presents the concept of time-travelling to the audience. Marty's period hip fashion targets right at the teen demographic of the time and is also another point of the time travelling concept, as the people in the 1950s era point out Marty's wardrobe as weird and out-of-place as if Marty was a navyman wearing a life preserver. One of my favorite things about the poster is the way light beams out of the DeLorean, appearing like a literal portal into a world that's similar yet extremely different. It's a poster that remains ironically timeless and still one of those posters that sticks with you always.

31. Lorde - Melodrama
Nominated by: Bane_Of_Despair (4/6 remaining)
https://assets.vogue.com/photos/58b9984661298051ac278def/master/pass/00-holding-lorde-album-art.jpg

Would a Louvre reference be too on the nose here? The cover art of Lorde's pop opus Melodrama communicates so much in such a simple scene. Themes such as longing for love in your late teens, a dash of sexual promiscuity, and the transition to adulthood are all portrayed through subtle touches like the color choice, falling of shadows, and Lorde's body language. It's a scene that feels like an all-too-personal window into a small moment of time, as a half-shadow on Lorde's face shows change and progress whilst Lorde's gaze suggests restless thought and untapped potential ready to be unleashed. The hazy overtones and deep coloring nail that sense of confusing and complicated "coming-of-age" moments that Melodrama the album is largely about. It's an incredible mood-setter and I could not see this album without this cover.

32. Brass: Lancashire
Nominated by: Simoun (1/6 remaining)
https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic3469216.jpg

I feel like we've had a lot of steampunk and industrial-type covers in this project, some of the fantastical nature, some more abstract, but I think Brass: Lancashire is a quintessential example of how do this setting pitch-perfectly. It's obviously a very grounded cover, rooted in history and realism, and gives off a variety of emotions. Dozens of smokestacks pump out fumes into the atmosphere, casting this city in what looks like a perpetual state of hazy darkness, the cost of an ever-advancing society. Way down in the background, you even get a sense of life here, as people work and walk by the waterside, a constant stream of busyness and activity that hardly gives time for rest. Finally, we get to our main centerpiece, a clearly rich oil tycoon lost in thought, thinking ahead towards progress but maybe even lamenting the current state of society for a brief moment. Some kind of heat source illuminates the lower right corner of the cover, which creates a warmness and maybe a sense everything will turn out okay. It's quite a fantastic cover, every piece of it meticulously painted with great detailed coloring that make it as effective at is.

Sorry for letting it purge, but we're right back in business. Here are the last three write-ups, in case you missed them.

35. Finch
Nominated by: Gatarix (0/6 remaining)


This cover oozes with class and mystery, looking like a cross between hard-boiled detective noir and an Indiana Jones fantasy adventure. The rust-covered artwork looks appropriately wet and grungy, as if a long-lost relic, but what I really love here is the way everything is arranged and pictured in the pistol, granting a sense of all the different elements the story will be about. There's a deep sense of unease with the shadowed man, whilst parchment and brick walls exude danger and conspiracy. It's capped all off with an interesting flower design, either a bad omen for the scene or one that portrays hope.

34. Gammarauders
Nominated by: Raetsal_Lupin (0/4 remaining)
https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic4374.jpg

Not all covers need to be totally meaningful and serious. Sometimes a cover that's so out there and wild and weird can be just as effective in selling your product. Case in point, Gammarauders. "They're monsters! They're machines! They're here!" Well isn't that the foreboding statement. But If I'm able to make machine-monsters like a robo-t.rex with a heat lamp and a penguin with a turret and umbrella on its head and a life preserver for a lower body count me in! I actually quite like the detail put into this post-apocalyptic wasteland too, especially the skull motorcyclist and the design of the flying cars. Consider this cover a success in marketing.

33. Final Fantasy VI
Nominated by: Zyxyz0 (1/6 remaining)


Final Fantasy VI's cover captures the imagination of a generation, and is very well the best cover in the series. I love the image of an impossible city, drab and devoid of hope in its design, spread in front of a young girl bursting with color and dreams even whilst she uses the black technology for her own. Like the best of Final Fantasy's locations, Final Fantasy VI's cover combines fantastical steampunk with romance, idealism, and sci-fi concepts to create a unique vision and the feeling of adventure and discovery.

I will list what's left in the next post.

You did the true ending with the developer commentary I assume? It is an interesting concept but I still can't but feel it would've been better served in a game that was as good as the classic REs and Silent Hill were. I think it's also more applicable to people who don't play this style of game as much anymore or played them only back in the 90s. To someone like me, the point is a little moot.

I'm fine with Commander Shepard out, it should definitely be a whole part of your character and not just through individual choices.
