Looking for a textbook favor...

Postby Otaku on Thu Jan 12, 2012 10:25 am

As many of you are already aware of, the new textbooks are coming out in April. I'm currently building the new grammar pages for them, so I'm quite busy. So, I was wondering if there is someone or somebodies who would go track down images of all the new textbooks?

The textbook names are: One World, Sunshine, New Crown, New Horizon, Total English and Columbus 21.

You can post the images straight into this thread.

Also, if any wants to take a crack at turning them into parodies like the current textbooks on the site that would be pure awesomeness.

Hmm having trouble finding them using google. If anyone knows the homepage of the publishers that would probably be the only way.

Gomen! I would love to make parodies on the gathered images though ;)

Yeah, a touch too far. 'Fun of' is fair but 'gutter' is a tad bit too far...

I got a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy who hooked me up with all the covers. A bit small but they are all there. Maybe we can work with them?

Or, we can keep looking cuz' I'm sure the rest have got to turn up in the next few months...

Worry not. I was only saying it in jest. How about "New Verizon" with the Verizon logo? Can't think of anything good. :dunce:

The New Horizon ones are found here - http://ten.tokyo-shoseki.co.jp/text/chu24/subject/eigo.htm same size as posted above, but if you zoom in the PDFs, part of cover layout scales up to higher res (only the background illustration gets blurry):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/431411/new-horizon.png

How about "No Horizon"
or better yet, but maybe too weird: "New Chorizo", and replace the round shape behind the number with chorizo sausage! mmm.

Sunshine > Moonshine? Sunburn?

I was thinking EVENT HORIZON, instead of New Horizon, with maybe a derelict space craft chilling in the street.

In case anyone is helping with the graphical spoofs, I have dibs on Sunshine! Hands off!

Lots of good ideas!

RB has already finished a mockup of SUNSHINE already, rather the SHOESHINE series. I gave him some suggestions, so maybe he'll post them when he gets done with them?

EVENT HORIZON <-- :rofl:

Don't know if anyone can see it from the small pic, but anyone using NEW CROWN look at the grade 1 textbook.

It looks like Mt. Fuji on the right side of the cover. Except, it looks like Fuji is erupting. YIKES!!!

New Clown ( Self Explanatory)
New Holeizon (More holes than not)
Total Japlish (It is what it is)
One Word (That's the only thing the students will remember)
Moonshine (Gotta have some before trying to teach it)
Columbine (For the obvious reason that the students will go postal)
