I've been a long time lurker on these forums and I didn't feel it was necessary to post because I didn't have anything to contribute to the community. I'm just a gold leaguer, I struggle against 1-base timing pushes against T as much as the next zerg player. But, I do think I am knowledgeable in Photoshop to a point where I can artistically express myself. So, my latest work combines none other than George Orwell's famous book cover with Starcraft II. I am hoping to edit this page as I think of other cool ideas. Hope you guys enjoy!

How would that work in terms of title though? I like to implement an element of wittycism. Malice in Wonderland??? Nah, that's like Snoop Dogg's Album already....

I introduce To Kill A Mutalisk by my boy Harper Lee!!!
original:
If you have ideas guys you should link me to the book cover so I can see it. I don't know what a lot of these books are. Like what is oda a catalunya????
The Canterbury Tales (by Geoffrey Chaucer) -> The Hatchbury Tales / The Zergbury Tales Last of the Mohicans (by James Fenimore Cooper) -> Last of the Marines King Solomon's Mines (by Rider Haggard) -> King Stephano's Vespene Geysers A Midsummer Night's Dream (by William Shakespeare) -> A midSummer's Dreamhuk
Wow nice! My suggestion is that you put the real book cover first and the photoshoped one after. Creates more of a "punch line" for us who haven't seen the original covers before.
The Great Gracksby - The Great Gatsby didn't see it already posted The Secret Expansion - The Secret Garden A Huge Imbalance- A Fine Balance Nony Dick- Moby Dick

That's all I have to offer as suggestions.
These are terrible. Do you not understand what a pun is?

Excellent idea, I love it. You should definitively do Metamorphosis, it has the best potential - Terran into Zerg suffering existential chaos. Definitively!
Dances with Dragoons Chronicles of Naniwa: The Pylon, The Glitch, and The Warp Gate The Last of the MarineKings Master and Command Center: The Far Side of the Map
The Queen and I - The King and I (Can also use Ling and I/Marineking and I) The Dark Sensor Tower - The Dark Tower by Stephen King Goody, the champion of the world - Danny, the champion of the world by Roald Dahl Marines-At-Arms - Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett
Blinkheart - Cornelia Funke (Inkheart) The Life and Opinions of Msradf Adsfalgh, Mutalisk - Lawrence Sterne (The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman) The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydra - Robert Louis Stevenson (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) - this could be changed to Mr. Idra for additional meaning

I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this one :D :D
I like Shakespeare, so lets see some: The Psistorm The Lurker's Tail The MULE of Tarsonis Mutalisk for Mutalisk Lair's Larva Lost The Microing of the Dragoon
Not too big on books and whatnot, but I do like movies and I thought about these:
Injection - A story about a queen injecting... Inside an inject! (Inception) Colossus: A Executor's Story - Figure you can do something great with the cover of the DVD :-D (Colosseum: A Gladiator's Story) Hive Met Your Mother - Dont know.. Thought the title was catchy though. The Probe - Looks like the DVD cover is just begging for a probe! (The Orb) Indiana Drones and the Dark Templars of Doom (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)
I know it kinda steals from you OP but you should put other submitted content in a spoiler in the OP. The burrowers is awesome!!!!!!!! also the first two are way better than the second two. I expect big things for the fifth one ;p
This is my last update until a a week or two from now on. I am working on a really big project and I hope to introduce it formally to TeamLiquid soon! Thanks for all the feedback don't hesitate to continue to post your designs in this thread. I'll continually add them to the OP!

What about The Wonderful Wizard of FXOz, featuring FXOWolf as the heartless Tin Man, FXOmOoNan as the brainless Scarecrow, FXOSheth as the cowardly lion, ZeNEXHack as the Wicked Witch of the West, and of course the beautiful FXOqxc as Dorothy.
Ok, well, I suck at image editing, but I decided to give this a try. I was quite lazy in some of it, but art is definitely not my forte.
If any of you have heard of Ted Dekker, he has quite a few great books. I thought I should try doing a SC2 cover of one of them, and "The Bride Collector" was right on my desk, so I went with that.
