Ok, since Murray has a super long thread on here I kinda got jealous and thought I would try to start one too. Actually I thought about this today and got home only to see this long Murray thread. <BR> <BR>Anyways, I'll get to the point. I don't know if any of you have picked up on it, but our last two ads were mocks of album covers. The first one was Queen, and the second N'SYNC. Our plan was have an actual theme for all of our ads this year and do all album covers. As usual, we have an ad due really soon and have not shot it or come up with the album cover we want to use. So I figured I would go to the faithful group here at WakeWorld and ask for suggestions. It can be ANYTHING. Really, ANYTHING. It can be from 1 to 5 guys. It really doesn't matter. Just something that people may actually pick up on. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/555821.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/555822.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>Thanks in advance!

We have talked about doing Abbey Road and actually that Nirvana cover.

How about the Molly Hatchet "Boat out of hell" theme- take a few shots of that super sparkly X-star of yours bustin out of the water?

"It's like, how much more black could this album cover be? and the answer is none. None more black." <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556045.jpg" alt="Upload">

Travis, in order to help you make your thread longer. I know how much boarders like to dress up so how about the pussycat dolls :-)

I think you're thinking of Meat Loaf.

I think the Devo album cover would be awesome and it has five guys on the cover. I was originally thinking of the Poison album where they are all glammed out but I hate that bad so much that I think Devo is better and more funny. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556049.jpg" alt="Upload">

Inside the Red Hot Chili Peppers "One Hot Minute" album the band went to Walmart photo center and dressed up like a family. Man wife brother sister. They took really gay family photos and used it as the album art work. Just an idea and would be really fun to do.

this is taking it back a bit, but one of my favorites...great album too. Here is the front and back cover. Notice the "horns" and the white chainsaw. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556053.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556054.jpg" alt="Upload">

Oops. Sorry Lauri H. <BR> <BR>I didn't see that someone had already suggested Devo. My bad.

How about U2, but change the title up to something like, How to Learn a Nuclear Grab (weak, I know). <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556061.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>Or, Linkin Park, but have the guys standing there holding their boards. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556062.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>Or, Foo Fighters, use TBS as the tattoo.

Not an album cover, but what about doing something with the Robert Palmer's "Addicted to love" video. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by sandman59 on March 11, 2008)

I guess it would help if we knew the major target audience for the ads. I assume that the majority of 'campers' are 14-20 (maybe falsely). For them, the very recognizable Europe cover Andy posted probably is a relic, something that they maybe saw once in a used CD shop and blazed past.

<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/556132.jpg" alt="Upload"> I think this one would be easy to pull off

That GNR cover gets my vote

Does it have to be music? What about video games?

Travis, just rent the suits at a local Savvi or something for the Jackson 5 Album Cover...haha it would be great to see you guys all Snazzed up in Canary Yellow!

Brooke, good grief. <BR> <BR>If you go with Spinal Tap, you can state on the ad: <BR> <BR>"The Boarding School, turn your riding up to 11." <BR> <BR>(had to have seen the movie of course)

I dont see how you CANT go with Wham or the beatles. this one is pretty recognizable, but perhaps not by the people you are trying to attract. plus, it only really has one person in it. change the text to say: The Boarding School.
