I might have a go but I don't fully understand the brief.........Do you think they want you to copy it exactly and see how close you can get or do your own slant on their cover?

Not entirely sure, but I would guess that they are looking for a funny slant, probably with their faces making a prominent impression. I've got my idea down for it but going to keep it close to my chest otherwise you'll all jump in and nick my idea. ;)

Out of the submissions on the site, I reckon you've got it in the bag. Most of them are pretty shockingly bad and using obvious internet memes for free laughs.

Let me know what the result is when you hear.
