I started working on these just after the series ended, my sort of tribute to the Big Brother franchise, I had them finished for a while but never had the confidence to show them to anyone until now.

I based the design of them on the Survivor DVD covers, which have 6 of the most prominant characters on the cover. Here's the designs and I hope you like them, some of the earlier series are in lower quality as it is very difficult to get a hold of photos of the earlier series in high quality.

Without further ado here they are:











I also have some of the spinoffs as well:












Feedback is greatly appreciated, also if anyone has high quality profile photos of the first 3 celebrity series that would be appreciated as well.

They are a good idea, I like it! A few inconsistencies but good

[karl100589]

Thanks for the positive feedback Judas. Also if anyone has any high quality profile images of the CBB1-CBB3 housemates that would also be greatly appreciated.

[Daniel R]

I like them too... Maybe you could add a little more to them, small bits of information for example, but good nethertheless. Keep it up, dude

[karl100589]

I'm going to be doing the BBUS designs soon, before I do I would like everyone to tell me who you think should make it.

Here are my suggestions:
BB2:
Hardy-Will-Nicole
Bunky-Monica-Boogie

BB3:
Danielle-Lisa-Marcellas
Amy-Roddy-Jason

BB4:
Alison-Jun-Erika
Robert-Jack-Jee

BB5:
Diane-Drew-Nakomis
Jase-Cowboy-Marvin

BB6:
Maggie-Janelle-Ivette
Howie-James-Kaysar
(Janelle gets the 'Rupert' treatment due to her massive popularity and the lethargic reaction to Maggie as a winner)

BB8:
Eric-Dick-Jen
Danielle-Dustin-Jessica

BB9:
Sheila-Adam-Crazy James
Natalie-Ryan-Sharon

BB10:
Jerry-Dan-Memphis
Renny-Keesha-Libra

BB11:
Jeff-Jordan-Natalie
Russell-Michelle-Kevin

BB12:
Rachel-Hayden-Matt
Brendon-Regan-Britney

If you have issue with any of these choices please tell me

[LemonJam]

personally i'd put the whole cast on the covers (somehow) but still a great job nonetheless

[karl100589]

There are full cast images available, the large problem with them though is that they are done just after launch night, which means that any 'intruders' aren't featured in them, so you wouldn't have prominant characters like Eugene, Aisleyne, Sara, Bea or Sam Pepper on them, and in the case BB8 you wouldn't even have the winner (Belo was an intruder).

Thanks for the feedback though everyone!

[karl100589]

I've been working on these recently, I had other things on my mind so it sort of got pushed back a bit unfortunately. I haven't got all of them ready yet, but I have got series 2 through to Allstars complete:

(Edit: All of my BBUS designs (and BBCanada designs) are now here)






























Feedback would be appreciated

[Revol]

These are amazing!

Could you possibly do one for CBB1, CBB2, CBB3, BB12 and, whilst it wasn't a huge series, TBB?

Unfortunately I don't have the profile photos for the first 3 celebrity series, so I can't do them unfortunately. If you can get a hold of them I'll give it a whirl.

I have to wait until the end of the series before finishing BB12's cover unfortunately. I have the background template designed though, I just need to put everyone on, which I can't really do yet since I don't know who finishes where.

What I can do however is show you my design for CBB8:


Enjoy!

PS. I've also moved all my designs into the same area so it's easier for everyone to find them.

[Patrick]

Not the best covers I have seen on here - but very good.

Do one for BB12

As soon as the series is over I will, the background design is already done but I can't really place the housemates until the series is over, particularly as the top centre position is nearly always reserved for the winner.

[karl100589]

If I was to do it now however I would probably say:
Alex - Jay (I think he'll win) - Aaron
Anton - Faye - Louise

What would you lot say at this point?

[karl100589]

I'm bumping this up mainly to ask you two questions:

The first is that at this moment 5 contestants are locks to be on the cover (Aaron, Jay, Alex, Faye and Anton). The question is who should be given the sixth slot? At this moment in time it's between Harry and Louise, but there is also a strong case for Jem and Tom, I'd like your opinions on who makes it.

The second question is that normally the top centre position on the cover is reserved for the winner, however the Survivor DVD covers (which I base my designs on) have given the top centre spot to non-winners before in cases where the non-winner in question was such a prominant and important character to the show (Rupert in Pearl Islands). It is something I replicated with putting Janelle top centre on the BBUS 6 DVD cover.

The point is that I am seriously considering giving Aaron this treatment and putting him top centre even if he doesn't win, would you be OK with this?

[Revol]

The sixth should be Rebeckah, she was quite a big character in the first two weeks and got people talking.

[Josiah.]

I think Jem should be the 6th person on the BB12 cover because even though she walked out, she was still a great housemate.

[karl100589]

BB12 has now been added to the original post.

Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

[karl100589]

I might be looking into tweaking some of my old designs and making them a bit more professional. I have some ideas of what changes to make but your input would be great too.

Here's what I have right now:

BB1: Black
Nick - Craig - Anna
Nichola - Darren - Mel

BB2: White
Bubble - Brian - Helen
Paul - Narinder - Dean

BB3: Green and Orange
Alex - Kate - Jade
Jonny - Tim - Adele

BB4: Turquoise
Fed - Cameron - Jon
Anoushka - Nush - Ray

BB5: Red
Victor - Nadia - Michelle
Jason - Stuart - Shell

BB6: Blue
Makosi - Anthony - Derek
Kemal - Eugene - Science

BB7: Black and Yellow
Aisleyne - Pete - Nikki
Glyn - Richard - Grace

BB8: Multicoloured
Sam - Brian - Amanda
Chanelle - Charley - Ziggy

BB9: Grey
Rex - Rachel - Luke
Darnell - Kat - Mikey

BB10: Purple and Pink
Marcus - Sophie - Freddie
Siavash - Bea - Noirin

BB11: Maroon
Ben - Josie - John James
Corin - Sam Pepper - Dave

CBB4: Blue
Michael - Chantelle - Pete
Maggot - Preston - George

CBB5: Black and Yellow
Jermaine - Shilpa - Jade
Jo - Danielle - Dirk

CBB6: Grey
Verne - Ulrika - Coolio
Michelle - Terry - Tina

CBB7: Orange, Yellow and Black
Stephen - Alex - Vinnie
Sov - Stephanie - Jonas

CBB8: Blue and Pink
Amy - Paddy - Kerry
Lucien - Jedward - Tara

CH: Purple
Jeremy - John - Emilia
Amy - Victor - Anthony

Some of the considerations I'm making are:
BB1: Black and Blue instead of just black?
BB1: Tom or Nichola?
BB3: Ginger Tim, Spencer or Alison?
BB4: Multicoloured instead of Turquoise?
BB4: Steph, Scott or Anoushka?
BB6: Craig or Kemal?
CBB6: Latoya or Michelle?
CBB8: Darryn or Lucien?

I will also do personalised covers for anyone who is interested, just PM me and I'll see what I can do.

[karl100589]

Done a couple of back designs for people to use:

BB1:


BB2:
Need a good quality group photo before I can do this one

BB3:


BB4:


BB5:


BB6:


BB7:


BB8:


BB9:


BB10:


BB11:


BB12:


CBB4:


CBB5:


CBB6:


CBB7:


CBB8:
No group photo exists

BBCH:


UBB:

I cheated and used the 'funeral' advert they were using as a cast photo.

[karl100589]

Bumping this up because I can too.
Take that Sam.

[karl100589]

I've just finished tweaking my BBUK designs. Most of them is a redo of the backgrounds and making the middle and bottom bars smaller to fit with the more professional BBUK template, but in the case of BB7 and BB8 it has been a complete revamp of the cover.

Other changes to note:
BB1: Background changed from black to dark blue
BB6: Craig replaces Kemal
CBB6: Latoya replaces Michelle

[karl100589]

CBB9 is currently in development. I'm going to respond to some of the comments made in regards to BB12 and use the template seen in the opening credits as opposed to the 2D template.

There's a couple of issues as of this moment.
1) I have 3 locks for the cover at this moment in time, Michael, Denise and the Twins, who should in your opinion be the other 3?
2) In regards to the twins should they appear as separate contestants on the cover ala Sam and Amanda or should they appear together ala Jedward, thus creating a 7 person cover.

Put Nat, Frankie and Nicola on there aswell, and the twins should go together

[karl100589]

Well here's a rough cut design as of now:


I went with Kirk instead of Frankie as I feel he's done a bit more of the two. This is still a rough cut and the final cut will depend on the final result.
As much as I love them I hope the twins don't win, it too me ages to get that bottom row right.
