The talent in this thread is AMAZING!

I'm looking for a Band of Brothers cover. The set I ordered came in a damaged tin so I'm going to put them in a 6 disc case and need a cover for it! Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks.

Have a PSD instead, as I edited the vector's colours slightly in PS

Hey. First off, great work everyone! Amazing custom covers that surpass the ones released officially.

Anyways, I just wanted to ask what is the best way to go about printing these? I would prefer to do them at home with my printer; Canon PIXMA ip2600. I would like to know which paper is best, and where can I get it from? Which settings are best for top quality, and which program makes it the simplest to print out?

As far as the program I use Undercover XP. Its free to download on the web.

Its as simple as dragging the image file into one of two windows (you can print two at once), selecting Blu-ray from the drop-down list and then sending it to print ("Print Both", "Print Left" or "Print Right"). The program will send it to the printer in the correct dimensions and even add crop marks outside the image to make it easy to cut the paper down to size.

It's supposed to look grim & dirty, much like the movie because of its realism.

I have a special request for you insanely talented custom cover creators...

Can anyone make a prequel and ot trilogy blu ray cover in the style of this? I don't really like the toys on the back but I like the front trim and logo.

Looks great! Except, why are the bricks visible through the posters?

I guess they used cheap paper back than Nissen is the artist on this and he did a kick A$$ job. I am gonna go print it out later today and replace the lame HALLOWEEN II with this one.

Thanks, Rusty.

The posters are pasted on the brick wall. That's the contours of the bricks showing through. Like Jaws3Dfan said, these are posters on thin paper.

Excellent!
I was thinking the same!

And I knew that the reason would be that the posters are pasted... anyway, even when I know that I still think it's weird. The bricks are visible through everything on this cover and I think they should be at least invisible through the posters or the titles... I don't know... but I just feel it's weird that everything is transparent.

Over than that, it looks amazing and the concept is so great!!!

I think if that's the case, it just needs harsh crease lines around the bricks, but as it is you can even see the texture of the brick behind it. It gives off a more 'transparent' vibe than it does 'thin' vibe.

But now I'm just nitpicking.
