The humor lays in the mouse-made smile and the button. Photo sources for both backgrounds and the robot images come from MorgueFiles and are free to use.http://www.morguefile.com/archive/?display=135547 http://www.morguefile.com/archive/?display=137364 http://www.morguefile.com/archive/?display=123759 I know that Einstein's image was NOT going to be featured "prominently" on this cover, so I choose a small button version of our "Fearless Leader" to be worn by the robot. (This is on a separate layer if it's not wanted). It is a public domain image from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Albert_Einstein_Head.jpg
Trying to picture the "How to grow your own organs"-story. Color scheme is changeable and plenty of room for sell lines.Source 1 (credit to hakze at sxc-hu. I have her permission to use it)Source 2Source 3Source 4Source 5
Attempted to create a retro feel for this cover, for I have always been taken with the look of science-future imagery. Saturated colors energize and empower, thus enabling a vision of a brighter future yet to come.
And yes, eyeballs are organs. Thanks for looking!source1, source2, source3, source4, source5, source6, source7, source8

Well this one took me a while!This is all illustrated to create an eye catching look for the "future" edition. Compression is KILLING this file, so please view the large version all the way over HERE so you can actually see what's going on! If there are any worries about the text not standing out on the left (I think it's fine...) It could easily be edited to make the background lighter under the text :)
