Artist's Comments

Done for my computer art class. We had to choose something to satirize, kinda like photoshop phriday does on SomethingAwful. I chose Twilight because -- let's face it, the fanbase needs to learn how to laugh at itself.

Yes, I realize I switched tenses at the end of the summary on the back cover. That was changed on the version I turned in and I could have sworn I sent that version to myself for uploading.

Wonky.

Anyway, I did not photomanipulate the original cover. All the artwork on the book, itself, was done wholly in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. I drew the picture, then painted in PS7. The text was all done in PS7 after downloading a couple fonts. The book onto which it is all superimposed is a photo, however, because we had to make it look like an actual product. Everything else I reproduced by hand. Even the barcode is fake (notice that it counts 0 through 10).

Now, before you take offense, just bear in mind that this is supposed to be a parody that reflects some of my opinions and the opinions of several others. All fanbases are made fun of; it's a fact of life when you're a fan, but the only fanbases that DESERVE to be taken seriously are the ones that have a sense of humor about themselves.

Uh wow o.O Thanks. And not that I'm not flattered, but as a Twilight Fan, isn't this the part where you start hurling rocks at me?

:laughing: I thought it was hilarious!! I'm not like a "die hard" fan, like crazy obsessive-ness-ly "die hard" lol like A LOT of people are.

O_o? Even though I DO flip out every time I watch the movie trailer, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go all crazy-eyed-homicidal-geeky-fangirl on you! lol :eyepopping: :fork:

:D

Just wondering. I've got a lot of friends who've written up genuinely mature criticisms of the book who've been lampooned with hate mail, which is kind of what this is response to.

What do the quotes on the front cover say? I can't quite make them out, though I think I got "Stephen King" out of one of them. xD;
