Thanks for the tip!

That's a keeper, Darren.
I still want to do a final polish on mine before I send them over.

Now, how do we go about spreading these around? Anyone here members of the D23 or other Disney sites?

Did anyone make Cowboys & Aliens Theatrical/Extended combo blu ray cover.

Those CONDORMAN covers are excellent! Now all we need are some UNIDENTIFIED FLYING ODDBALL covers!

The movie was filmed in Alnwick Castle in Northumberland - not that far from where I grew up.

In the UK this sci-fi spin on the classic Mark Twain story was released under the title "A Spaceman in King Arthur's Court"

Even though i probably won't ever have the means to actually make an actual digibook to put the discs in, i gave a go at creating a HP digibook in the same style as the German premium collection digibooks. I've also experimented with doing some book-styled digibooks for the movies, but don't have anything too concrete to show yet atm.

My apologies for the watermarks i always put on my work, but i've had my work stolen before.

That Digibook for Harry Potter 7.2 looks fantastic.

That is amazing.

I don't suppose anyone has done a custom cover for Stargate Universe Season 2? as I have just finished burning my HDTV recording to AVCHD's and have a 6 disc case to put them in but have no talent when it comes to designing anything.

So it was an honor to compete with all of them! And I would do it again if Im invited next year. Those that won, was well earned hands down.

So with that said - here is my cover. I chose The Social Network, and after working on my first choice, Three Kings I pulled out my old concept for TSN two days before the deadline and went for it. Its 2 concepts - Front is a rebuild of Mark Zuckerberg from Time Magazines "Person of the Year" with Jesse Eisenberg instead. I've included the original magazine for comparison. And the back is a reproduction (all built by scratch) of Mark Zuckerber's facebook page, with the first comment as the movie description and the second comment being the special features. I updated the front with the true Time logo today and I have changed the credits since the contest simply because I couldn't include my name before now. This cover was so out of my normal style and a design concept I had never tried before, and the quality and hi-resolution of everything was so important with this concept. But in the end whats life without risks right?

Since this was a cover for a contest, I've also included a direct link to download and share for a short time for those that do want it. The 3D mock-up doesn't do the cover justice. This cover wont appeal to everyone, but its a totally different option from the original cover and its very sharp when printed out.

I hope the other designers in the competition show their work too, you all will be most impressed!

I love the back of this

I modified my Mr.Nobody cover

I'm bummed it wasn't Criterion size but it looks pretty cool in this black case.
Anyone knows the correct dimensions for a Criterion Case.

dv8,
What size cases did you design these covers for?

Front needs some work, font doesn't look great. and the squares are just too plane.

Thanks, I wanted to put a photo of Carpenter on the front from the 1980s but there don't appear to be any photos of that era in high enough definition of the director. In the end I was left with only the posters of the four movies.

I could have used Kurt Russell images, but this isn't a Kurt Russell set (he does not star in "Starman").
