Hey folks. For the last several months I have been working off and on writing
a book entitled "Insider's Secrets to Funding Your LEGO® Hobby" (unofficially
"How to sell LEGO®, make money, and always be happy!"). There is vague parody
to The LEGO Movie throughout the book. I have been working on a cover design
a little bit but thought I'd offer the core photo as a contest to the AFOL
world.
Question: As the prize would be store credit and a free copy of the book ($10
value), how much store credit would be worth your time? Your name would also
appear in the book as the cover artist.
I'm looking for something inspired by the photo below. A nice brick built
background of something that looked like a store inventory would be awesome. Since
this is for a book cover, photography skills will matter. Digital solutions would
be acceptable so long as they were rendered well. Using others' IP is not
okay unless it would clearly fall under the exception of parody. In that regard,
please try to avoid any complete minifigs as they appear in the catalog.
The contest has not started yet, I'm just trying to see what the interest
level is. I'll post an official thread for entries when I'm ready to
commence.

"How to sell LEGO®, make money, and always be happy!")
Now that's a more appropriate title,.
