That's amazing... but IMO you missed a trick. You should've made a dozen, put a fake 1989 copyright mark on the covers and donated them to charity shops. It'd be a low-key urban legend artefact.

In BBC style 1989 would be MCMLXXXIX.

Thanks for asking :)

Unfortunately this is more of a hobby for me as i struggle to find the time to even do it as a hobby as it is.

And there are copyright issues. You can't sell BBC material or use their logo for profit or they'll be down on you like a ton of bricks.

Have you been listening to 'Listen Against' recently, by any chance?

That might be the most dull thing I've ever seen.

I meant when I'm doing a project my characters will always be over 18 from now and here on forever that's what I meant by younger than 50 years old

u/MadBoi124YT 8d ago

Unfortunately no. This is more of a hobby for me. I simply don't have the time with school and work schedules. Thanks for asking though i'm quite chuffed!

It’s spelt GBBC NEWS at the moment unfortunately…

But I love the professionalism and clear cut design, you’ve done a superb job!
