Notebook Cover

I think you could turn a great piece into an amazing one by shifting the two photos at the top towards the spine so the text dosen't get separated and flows well. Just a suggestion and I think it looks fantastic otherwise! I hope you welcome constructive criticism. :)

Hey again,

To continue on my notebook issue, the graphic on the back used to make the picture frames is a complex vector image that would be quite hard to alter, so until I can find a viable solution, I find it difficult to get the text to flow better!

I think this would look good!

But probably without the shadow effect!

Hey, I'm a graphic designer and do this kind of stuff on a daily basis. You could send me the vector file you are showing in the images above and I could seperate them for you and send back individual eps files, if that would help. I don't even have a need for a notebook cover, just would like to help you make it better. PM me if you need my email, or it's on my site.

Oh I don't know. It's your cover, I was just wondering what you thought of the idea of using the shiny letters? I'm not saying it would look better or anything, only a suggestion. Since it's the movie you're doing the cover for you may want some elements from the movie itself on there, along with using the book cover. You could keep what you have and then put screenshots on the back and that would be sweet.

BTW I've been searching for the other six full length covers and haven't found anything yet. Let you know when I do.

How's this? I'm still not so sure if it looks better or not, I'm undecided lol.

FYI, I do thave the Casino Royale one done, I just forgot to upload it ... plus, I might me changing the two bond ones so the spine has white logos on them instead of black and so the gold 007 and 21/22 near the top of the spine is also in white.

Awesome - great stuff. Thanks so much!

Another couple I forgot about earlier... Wall-E (I saw this on the shelf photos, but couldn't find a download), and Pushing Daisies seasons 1 and 2.

MKase 07-25-2009 11:05 AM

I know something similar has been asked before, but can someone in the UK scan the cover for Nature's Great Events. The packaging here in the US for Natures Most Amazing Events is - well - bloody awful and I have an empty two disc case that would be just perfect. Thanks in advance.

RebelJeeper 07-25-2009 03:12 PM

The original Planet of the Apes movies scans or customs? Anyone? Bueller... :(

Unicorn Martyr 07-26-2009 02:06 AM

Does anyone have or could any create a custom cover for TMNT: The Movie (1990) with the "Pizza Box" cover art from the upcoming collection?

mplsfalls 07-26-2009 03:36 AM

Could anyone make a blu-ray cover for Leon the Professional? I have sold all of my DVD's with the exception of Star Wars and Leon, but I still would like to see them in similar cases so I can build some shelves sized for blu-ray.

Clapton101 07-26-2009 04:43 AM

What program do most of you use to make your custom covers, and what do you use to see how it would look in the case like some post here?

Illest Villain 07-26-2009 06:23 AM

I use Adobe Photoshop but I have seen others use Gimp and sometimes Adobe Illustrator. Imandix is the program used to see how it would look with the case.

I'm gathering from having stumbled across this thread that dv8pdx doesn't post here any more, which is unfortunate. I was wondering if anyone knows if these covers ever were finished? I think they're very striking and given the kind of...uh...special packaging the set comes with I'm looking for alternatives.

I second this!

BigDumbWookiee 07-29-2009 12:59 PM

Yeah, count me in as part of the crowd looking for BSG replacement cases too.

That and Fanboys. If anyone out there can make a custom Fanboys cover, english only, I'd appreciate it!

Can anyone give me the dimensions of a 5/6 case slipcover? Overall length/width, and well as the length/width of just the front?

You can try PM'ing dv8. He may also watch this thread and just not post new custom covers.

Did a quick look around and I see what you mean. All I found that is worthwhile and high res are all TMNT posters.

Lt. Aldo Raine 07-29-2009 05:56 PM

Hey Coov great looking star wars covers, but in my opinion u should rename the first cover as, a new hope, instead of just star wars, think about it

DrAndonuts 07-29-2009 11:09 PM

Really like the concept for the TMNT series, but I don't really like the back cover art. I think it might be the font choice. Also, I think you can leave the 1 off of the first movie's front cover.

But yeah, I really like the idea, and I'll probably use them, especially if you switch the fonts around. I hope you do one for the new movie, too!

Thanks for the comments, I guess some will like the font, others will not, to each his own. As for the numbers, it is a trilogy, so the numbers are carried the same on all three, that's just the style I chose!

Looks good but the Original Poster Artwork for Empire would look 10 times better.

Trean 07-30-2009 09:33 AM

bpm:

Have you ever thought about crop out the words/odd crap that is at the bottom of some of the movie posters. To me it seems like it would make the image a tad more pristine.

Also, did you ever consider doing two pictures for a bunch of your blu-series covers; there are a ton of the newer titles with plenty of high res imagery available.


Just a few thoughts that crossed my mind.

Alan A 07-30-2009 10:56 AM

please finish these as i have them on blu-ray and very much like your design :-)
