I was wondering the same thing. Why is it that the people that can't do complain the most!

I haven't seen anything work from any of the complainers.

Big Post Alert:

First off, let me say that I'm not very good at making custom covers but I'm not letting that stop me. My covers are a bit different though because they're not blu-ray covers; they're dvd cover for blu-ray cases. I know a lot of people think this is blasphemy but, in order to minimize overall shelf space, I've been making custom covers for tv shows on dvd that I don't think will be coming to blu anytime soon - if ever. So I made covers for Rescue Me seasons 1, 2, 4 and 5 (3 is already on blu), and Angel seasons 2-5 (a friend of mine got wind of what I was doing and wanted to make the season 1 cover). Rescue Me seasons 1, 2 and 4 utilize the original front cover art but I made the back covers my own and Rescue Me season 5 and all of the Angel covers are original. Also, I don't use the specs or UPC codes because I just don't really care for them.

I am grooving on all the recent covers; Star Wars, Hellboy, Stanley Kubrick, Pandorum, Machette, and these new Angel covers. What did I miss?

PS: Oh maybe you might want to take the Stanley Kubricks off of 2001? Idk...

Yeah, I'm going to take it off 2001 also. It's just I was in a hurry when I made the previews the other day and I didn't change the covers at all from the way they were then. Next time I work on them, that's the first thing I'm doing. :D

I can make alternate versions in white, but the main thing I was going for was trying to re create the original posters I'm using. The Shining poster was yellow and the EWS one was purple, so that's what I'm using (at least for the primary versions). It wouldn't be hard to change it to white if anyone wants them after.

That was my assessment as well. It's a kettle black scenario on their part.

I Get that, I have a huge thing for poster art right now.
So much so the next cover will split people right down the middle

You shouldn't take off 2001, since thats the title of the movie. but that just mho.
And I see what dvdmike is saying, but I like the different colors ;)

dvdmike 08-25-2010 11:09 PM

Will be ready for the end of the week, can work with any region disc
EDIT:Maybe not all regions as the Uk disc has more extras

I found the font using What the Font. It is Phaistos Roman. It appears to be an exact match.

Here is a link. There is a sample text box to enter text of your choice. Just type THEREDSHOES all caps no spaces and then compare.

I think it was a pretty recent development. Something about Ron Perlman not wanting to do it anymore.

nice covers. do you think you could make 1 for The Office: Season 5 & 6? you could use the same cover, spine, and back to make it easier.

Well no, whether or not you think they look good isn't the point, of course you're going to like them, you made them. But they're not going to look good on anybody's shelf in all honesty. I'm trying to help you here but you aren't taking ANYBODY'S advice and continue to do whatever you want. If you're going to ignore everyone then why post here?
