UK Box Cover

All the Il2 titles have had art on the front of them rather that in game shots, but I agree with someone who said it had a winter feel about it.

why do we get these whinny threads...is it just because ppl hate ubi or you think its gaming chic to look like you do?...these threads are getting boring.

@ tree UK: its not a winter scene...rather a restricted palette with regard colour..think painted photographs which were very common on the 40's

I thougtt the art work captured the moment of the BoB quite well.. Admittedly that artwork with "Storm of War" (in gently styled germanic font) as the title would have worked better, but yeah, its not too bad.

Exactly what I thought, leggit mate I didnt post a whiney thread, people are making whiney replys to a positive post. I thought that people might like to see the UK box art as personally i hadn't seen it before, But as leggit and others have said the moaning is putting me off posting in these forums, tbh it always has. There's nothing wrong with critisim, but critisim were its due or even worthwhile would be better than "why dont UBI pay a top aviation artist a ton of cash to paint a box cover" the answer is in the question. Obviously.

Have you guys thought that this might no be the final box art?

Its possible yeah, but as it stands thats the listing on pre-order websites. I think it looks fine, as someone said it gives a good battle feeling.

It's quite clearly not the final box art, the collectors edition on the UBI site shows a version that is brighter and less winter looking as well as having a spinner on the Spitfire.

It's horrible for me too but considering we'll probably don't have a box, who care about it?!

Whatever. I guess its a crime on this forum to apreciate good art and to know anything at all about marketing.

I have a Bachelors and a Masters Degree in Art subjects; yet i would not use the term "good" art its a completely subjective statement..what you may consider good would be completely different from the next person....if you have some techincal insight you would like to share with us. For example the composition, the use of colour, subject matter, medium(s) used etc....I'd be very interested to hear it.

Generally i find people that make statements like the one you have made....their apprecatation is surface deep not really anything more.
