[Jihaan]

I don't even know what this threads about But I like the second picture with the green birds that penguin sign brings back memories

[Hiking]

Do you surf the forum with your eyes closed?

[Suliman]

Some decent entries in this one. I'm quite partial to the water colours and faded looks of entries 2 and 4

Kudos to the designers!

looool ask Hayaa' how I browse it

me too so whats this all about sis hiking ? are we choosing a book cover ?

i hate number one, that needs taking down, plucked eyebrows and all that khol, eyeshadow and make up on display uff

number two looks like a little kid made a stencil painting. its tacky looking.

number 3 looks like some kaffir dude i dont understand what its trying to say, doesnt look like an islamic thing at all.

and number 4 looks ropey, art work is really poor and faded, and the pic of the women in the background has to go


anymore choices ?

Yes, these covers are designed by ummah members. The first two are part of the same one btw. Vote for the one out of them that you think is the best.

anymore choices ?

Nope, just those , and ouch, that was a blistering breakdown! Remember the entrants are ummah members, and they're gonna read your comments!

ah well i didnt know that, and sorry ummah members but why have muslim women in pics displayed for all and sundry to see, and women with eye make up on and plucked eyebrows, women cursed by Allah for that, and and then will be displaying themselves more in public getting more sins if it gets published or something !!! grrrrrr


sorry but i honestly dont like any of them. whats the kaffir bloke doing there ? whats the book about ?

[.: Anna :.]

looool i like ur honesty masha Allah

[Kas1m]

its true though...i like number 2

[Joha]

I don't even know what these are? What was the competition?

btw: with 1 - like it - except there's nothing dignified about those eyes, except that they're alluring.....to aliens

Two nice and simple, I like that

Three...well don't care who it's by but any book cover with a pillock on the front isn't getting my vote.

I go for four (I bet I can guess who it's by) - but the women look depressed. If it's a celebration of womanhood make the women look excited to be women

[Suliman]

Wasn't there meant to be a 50(ish) short blurb about the books as part of the entry? So you know what the book is meant to be about at least?

Also sister 'asiya, harsh review. Maybe you should enter next time, show them how it's done.

Also there is a difference between critique and criticism all members should take note that the entrants have taken time and effort for this competition. Constructive words would be a good idea as users will feel like not bothering in the competitions if they get shot down.

If there is something wrong with an entry, explain why. I'm working on a personal project and have been for a while now to get good halal design. We need more talent in the ummah that is halal. You'd be shocked at what messages decent art can get across.

i didnt know there was any competition and still dont know what its for,or what these covers are for. i dont think it was harsh, just my honest opinion, i gave my reasons why i didnt like the choices, so the critique was there not criticism. and we all know women who pluck their eyebrows are cursed by Allah,women should not be wearing make up in public, and muslim women should not be used as cheap items to sell books .. islam freed us from such opressions.

[~TwinklingStar~]

When its related to an Islamic theme, I don't think the ones with human figures & eyes are really appropriate.

C'mon , you wouldn't really want to put such covers on an Islamic book cos then we'd have to keep such a book covered as we can't have pictures lying around at home.

Good effort, though

I agree with you about not having women with plucked eyebrows & make up etc.

I liked number 2 best , but it just looked like something was missing from it ?

Whats the competition for ? when is it finishing ?

[.: Anna :.]

its just for randomly, like for nothing lol
its finishing i think the poll says 12th so i guess then?

[adil786]

Fiishing 12th. Get voting everyone!

excuse me sister 'asiya but some ppl really tried to do something instead of criticizing...why you did not put a gr8 one into contest for it to have at least a "decent" choice on your taste

[Abu Mus'ab]

Asiya was right, from a shari' point of view no one can say that what she said was wrong, except for number 2 of course, that was her opinion, but the other three that she mentioned all did have problems, she just happened to be the one to point it out.

well some ppl are going on extremes...

there is not whole female wanting to display there, lying on your houses causing fitna...maybe the maker found just that decent photo of a hijabi woman to use, i do not see much make up in it and with the whole rose thingy almost i did not see, really never thought of eyebrows, liner............let's try ourselve to not judge others too harsh and take care of ourselves to give example instead of making things to look so bad and ppl feel diappointed without having no intention to spread fitna, kaffir things or whatever your mind see in these works!
