God Put a Smile Upon Your Face :D

I don't know how illegal it is in the UK or USA to make an image bigger and put it on the internet, especially when they already have uploaded a small one. But if I get asked to remove it from Coldplay, I'll remove it.

Thanks for appreciating it, guys/gals!

You're welcome :)

Updated the original post with more links to different sizes and such :)

I have the vinyl, so I just took the included artwork and scanned it about 10 times because my scanner is too small to get all of it at once.

Here is the original Reddit thread I made. Wallpaper Sizes iPhone (3g/3gs/4/4s)/iPod Touch (1/2/3/4) iPad 1/2/3 iPhone 5/iPod Touch 5 16:10 2880x1800 (Looks great on the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display!) 16:9 2560x1440 4:3 1600x1200 5:4 1280x1024 Raw Images Compressed jpeg 5112x1704 ~3.7MB Less compressed jpeg 5112x1704 ~4.5MB Extremely compressed jpeg FULL SIZED 10223x3408 ~9.2MB It doesn't look as bad as you think it would! Uncompressed and non-color corrected png FULL SIZED 10223x3408 ~139.4MB Please remember that this is ~140MB! That's really big, yo! Compressed and non-color corrected jpeg FULL SIZED 10223x3408 ~57.9MB And, if there is demand for it, I'll upload the ~222.1MB psd, but only if you can really convince me--I have 1 mb/s upload speed :( Thanks for being an awesome community Coldplaying! I don't know if this is the correct forum to post this to, so move it if it is needed, please :) And sorry for the fold lines :( Woah... 871 downloads and counting!

I'm sorry if I offended you about your font, you did a great job! You have more patience than I ever would have and it was a job well done. I understand you didn't have the large images at your disposal, and I know the type-face business is a very tedious field. Trust me, I don't want to down-play your efforts, as mine would never result in anything like yours. People like you make the Coldplay community higher in quality! I just want everyone to be happy with their results, so I included both (and your font is the default choice, by the way) in case there are perfectionists out there, like myself. Thank you for the font, I will be using it especially during this era!

Thank you guys for all of the positive support! I've been updating the original post often and there is a lot of new information on it. So keep on posting comments, post your stuff, and enjoy the PSD!

UPDATE: I included the font found here. I also kept the original custom shape text I hand made because they are more accurate than the font, but I believe it will do. And thanks everyone for the nice messages :D

THANK YOU! Hand crafting those are very tedious, and I never found it anywhere :( But thank you! I'll be updating it soon with the text layer as an option (Just in case there are some larger mistakes in the font).

Update: Uploaded to deviantArt (Where I'll be updating it from now on). If it doesn't need an update, though, I'll keep the hosted file from my site up just in case dA goes haywire or something.

That's right! And guess what? I'm giving it to you guys for free! Comparison: Here is an example of the customization I know it doesn't look good, but it's what you can do with it. Do note this, though: I made it in Photoshop CS5 and I can't test to make sure it works in any other version, so if there are issues, please tell me :) Confirmed: CS4 & CS3 Included in the PSD is a completely vector (meaning ready for print) version of the cover. I had to remake the background textures and they are also resizeable. If you do resize it (within Photoshop), don't check "Scale Styles." This will pixelate the noise in the background layers and the artwork inside of the text/background. The font is hand crafted, so I couldn't just download it off of the interwebz. I used the pen tool in PS and hand made them, so they aren't going to be pixel perfect with the album's font. I included the font (found here) into the PSD. I also kept the original custom shapes because this font isn't as accurate as the ones I made, but the author promised us that he would update them whenever he can to make them more accurate and more authentic. Inside of this file you will see two groups: Group 1 - MX Fill: The letters are in their filled style, having a solid texture of a wall of graffiti (photo curtesy of my414oc from SCX.HU. I didn't use the official pattern because it was too small and I might have been infringing some copyrights), inset shadow, and bevel/emboss. I personally like this version better than group 2. Group 2 - MX Outline: This is the standard cover in the LP5 era. It is the same lettering in group one, but just an outline. The background is the same pattern included in the first group, just like the official cover of MX. Not much styling is applied to the background layer. Both of the groups' text layers have a solid color layer style to give a warm effect on the image, if you want to disable it, just uncheck it, if you want a cooler look, just change the color to a blue-ish/green-ish and mess around with the opacity. It takes a little while to get it perfect, so just play around with the settings on that. The kerning (The horizontal spacing between individual letters) was messed around with to make it look good. If you are trying to edit these text layers, you, first, need the font, & you need to change the letter spacing to make it look good to the eye. The way to do this is to enable the Character pallet and look for this menu: Changing this field will change the kerning on the letters. You can also change the kerning of groups of characters by selecting them and changing the kerning for that selection. The best part about this PSD is that you can choose whatever background you want for either group, and you can copy/paste the layer styles to any layer you want (even type layers!). To make an image file become the background, open it as a seperate window/tab in Photoshop, and then click Edit>Define Pattern. Name it whatever suits you best. Then go to the layer in which you want to change the background, double click it to bring up the layer styles window, and click on Pattern Overlay. Search for your image (it should be at the end if done correctly), and click. THERE YOU GO :D The file is ~33 MB (To be exact, it is 35,259,828 Bytes or 33.62 MB). The file is just a .psd with all of the images/textures/patterns included inside - so no other downloading needed :) There aren't ANY viruses, but if you guys aren't sure, I'll do whatever you guys recommend - I just want you guys to be happy. The file will be uploaded to DeviantArt later on this evening, as soon as I find some extra time. I uploaded it dA, which can be found here. College is coming up for me and I'm moving on Monday. I hope you guys enjoy it, as soon as I heard and saw the new album, I just HAD to do it. I don't contribute much (if any) to this board, so here is my first step to doing some favors back! ETIAW Font DOWNLOAD*needed to edit type layers deviantArt DOWNLOAD If you like it, favorite on dA, comment, email me, or just tell me if it helps at all. I just want to give back!

I know it is different at the part where he should say 'in a cave' - It sounds like he is saying/screaming SIGH-YAH-YAY! Anybody have a good interpretation of this?

Look at ALL of the connectors on the back/side and look for anything that says "Audio Output", NOT input.

Well, it depends on the dpi, or dots per inch, which is the same as ppi, or pixels per inch. 8 1/2 x 11 at 600 dpi would be 5100x6600 in pixels, while 300 dpi would be, like inengsol1500 said, 2550x3300 in pixels. The same goes for A4 sizes, 300 dpi = 2480x3508 in pixels and 600 dpi = 4961x7016 in pixels. It all depends on your printer. If your printer can handle 600 dpi, and you want the BEST picture quality, you should print at 600 dpi. It's like resolutions on a computer, if you don't choose the highest setting, you will get a pixelated image. EDIT: Actually, thinking about it for a while, your image just needs to be in an aspect ratio of 17:22, or for every 17 horizontal pixels, there are 22 vertical pixels

I've had one for a while... never used it, though :rolleyes: http://www.formspring.me/seanclayton

@Pseudonym wow. :inquisitive: It's march at that must mean It's sunny and should be spring But it's grey and and depressing I'll just watch cheech and chong :D

Hopefully by "not true" they mean BEFORE Christmas :)

Here is a wallpaper I made for 1280x1024 screen resolutions. If you want a higher res, ask me ;)

Its just not fair that their voice is louder than mine or yours, why do they get heard and not me? Because they are famous.

Im with you Corkus on about everything... I didn't mind that Chris Martin spread announced his political views, but one of the reasons that I don't like U2 as much is because of Bono and his political outbursts... By the way... I STILL LOVE COLDPLAY.

It would be nice if someone could post a youtube vid!
