IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


I realize my skills are lacking compared to many of those who enter this
competition, so I tried to 
come up with a creative take on the topic. When I think of speed, I can't help
thinking of velocity 
and kinematics from old physics homework. I tried add to the character of th
sceneit with the sci-fi 
poster and ship model.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


There are a lot of image maps involved, but other than that it's pretty basic.
The only parts of the 
image that aren't totally mine are the wood textures (from the POV includes) and
the metal texture 
used on the ship and starbase in the poster/model (found over a year ago on
startrekaustralia.com). 
I played with the AA, but no matter what i tried, I keep getting the pixely step
looking effect on 
the book title, book cover, clock, and poster.
