Yes but it doesn't say text is allowed on this challenge
Under the current rules you can print out some text, take a picture of it (high-contrast recommended!), delete the background, and paste the remaining text onto your image.
It is also still *possible* (but not certain) that the special rule allowing text to be entered directly will be added later ... keep your fingers crossed and save your text file ... :-)

It would be a lot easier if they would just add a special ruleset

Text is a kinda sorta IMPORTANT design element, especially in a challenge like that.
If peeps can be bothered to do so, google album covers for, say, 1970s Yes and Led Zeppelin respectively. The fonts couldn't be farther apart in terms of style, like the bands represented. The lush, fat font used for Yes albums of that era contrast sharply with the more angular linear fonts of Led Zep.

Yes, good point. However, the Beatles are instantly recognizable so it's pretty obvious who the artist is. Of course you could always just go ahead and straight-out plagiarize the '4 guys walking across an intersection'.
It's not that hard to print out some text, shoot it and paste it in, as I suggested earlier. It's what I plan to do myself. But shooting a wordless cover (remember you can still type in the title field) is probably more of a "challenge" and could conceivably earn a bonus from folks who appreciate such things ...

True but it's a PITA if you don't have a printer. Furthermore how do you know which font will work best with your idea right off the bat? I never do.
Without text allowed, this is nothing but an Expert-level free study, which will probably be won by gyaban anyway.
Someone on SC please take a cattle prod to Langdon. Have him sign over the final authority on matters like this to the SC. Plain and simple.

I don't have a printer either, but access to one at work and the public library -- I can print a letter-sized PDF for fifteen cents; I might include two or more versions on a page.
You can design your image with the type on top, then just print the type without all the background elements.
