I was just messing about with it and i made a pretty accurate reconstruction- which has led me to believe that one of the coolest covers i've ever seen was done on something as basic as Paint. Which is just ace!

Here's the original:

And here's mine:

Not too far off it, is it? :)

LOL! Yours is a little droopy there, Paul...but not bad. ;)

By the way, did they ever say who designed the Ode cover?

hahahaha, paint, is an ass kick. I think they did it on Ilustrator. Too much quality, and so much faster ;)

I agree! Freehand would be possible, too, but in UK it was probably Illustrator.

Freehand was THE application here for years. I started with Illustrator and am now happily back with it, CS3 is awesome. Don't know much about Corel Draw, I think I've only used it once.

There's only one snag, and that is that you can make anything in paint if you have enough time and patience :) So with that in mind, well done!

That's cool, Paul! I did my profile pic with Paint (the simple old one), it's funny how easy it is to work on it!
