    My French vocab is super rusty but I think it roughly translates as "All will perish".

    Maybe.....

    A few things graphical wise^^

    - I see 5/6 diffrent fonts. This makes the cover look really busy and not easy for the eye. Yoou get distracted to much by everything going on. Best is to stick with a maximum of 3 different fonts.
    - The name P911 is pushed to the border of your page. It almost feels like it is falling off the page. next to that the last "1" of "P911" is not line up nicely with the green area you have next to it
    - Text vertically is basicly always a no-go. Its not easy to read and only clumps up the cover. Same as the first issue is makes it look really busy and is not easy for the eye. Try bring over the message with less words. and keep it horizontal
    - The White blocks in the lower right side are 3 diffrent blocks with all a diffrent diagonal angle. make sure they are all the same and that they are lined up nicely. Same for the words that are within them they stand on diffrent locations and are not nicely lined up underneath each other. The words left of the white blocks need to be vertically centered to each white block. This will make it easier for the eye, look crisper and more professional. Also it will make the cover look a lot less busy.
    - last little nitpick is the "J" from jeux video in the top overlaps with the P911.

    But so far looks like you got a good start here just need to adjust the little things to make it so much more awesome:) keep it up! Ohw and another tip. Check out the 'EDGE' Covers. They are really good.

    (sorry it's hard to explain this in english as I normally do this in Dutch :p if I made some mistakes words wise or if someone knows how to explain it better plz correct me)

    "Tout doit disparaƮtre" is actually an expression used when a shop is having a big sale such as a closing down sale to say that they must get rid of everything. The literal translation is indeed 'all must disappear', so it's a play on words.

    The closing down sale expression here is "everything must go".
