CHALLENGE: Feed the Nerd

Ok, here's the story:

The PJ Nerd has been very busy as of late, staying up all night pixeling (challenges, Pixelween, mISOlogy), and he has sustained himself soley on Pizza. The upcoming Secret Santa made him think, that starting his own pizza delivery will not only give him unlimited acces to pizza, but also allow to save some money. How could making pizza be much different than making pixel art?

We, pixel artists, prefer squares over circles, so to be of any help we will design a pizza box cover for PJ Pizza - the company our poor PJ Nerd just started.

Bring out your best fancy pixel fonts and all the cool design chops. You have to use exactly 8 colours. You can choose to go minimalistic on raw cardboard (for example, use the available colour limit for realistic cardboard texture and one or two ink colours), or choose a wide range palette and dither us a photorealistic pizza drawing. Make it irresistible to tip the delivery person.

Canvas Size - Min. 100x100px, (have to be a perfect square).
Colors - Exactly 8 (as many as pizza slices inside).
Transparency - No.
Animation - No.



*The PJ Nerd will not use your design for commercial purposes without your permission, and/or fair compensation.
