I will edit this post with more information in due time. In the mean time I have gotten started on my cover. Once done I will provide a template for multiple styles so that you put your own images into the cover. This is my WIP so far.
UPDATE 1: There are a ton of ideas and examples in this thread over at NeoGaf. You can use these links for templates: Link 1, Link 2. Once I am done I will upload the PSD file and tell you which layers are which so that you can simply hide them and make whatever design you want.
The second part of this thread should be an open area for submitting your best pictures for everyone who wishes to make cover to use. Please keep that standard of you shots high. I know this is subjective but don't just throw in a pic you think looks nice. It should make you and others say wow. If you have specific designs for parts of the cover uploaded them for the whole community to use would be great.
Update: 2
Here are the files I used for in my work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?pca26ix6ycxrx (PSD files)

I have labeled each layer in the master PSD file which is called "GT5 Cover 1.PSD". I did not a perfect job and took some shortcuts on some layers, as a result when you hide certain layers, they may look strange or unfinished. It should not be too much extra work though.
Finally there is one part of this whole thing that is NOT up for debate. If you use other people's photos, you MUST give them credit in the bottom left hand corner on the back cover with the GTPlanet logo. You are highly advised to include the GTPlogo in some way. Once more covers start coming in, the competition will require all photos to be of the user entering the competition, so I would advise you use your own photos. Luckily it is very easy to swap photos in and out. Also all you have to do is print these on 8.5x11 paper and cut a little bit of and it will fit perfectly into your GT5 case.
I look forward toward to what the GTP community can come up with. After a while I guess we could hold a competition. But first lets get some designs in.
