Creating Custom Covers?

[jhansla]

I have started to import some titles that have not been released here in the US. I thought we could start a thread for custom covers, so those thick cases don't look out of places on our shelves

Right now I'm working on a Face Off cover, and will upload once I'm finished.

Also does anyone know what kind of paper that should be used for printing?

Thanks

I use a multi purpose paper, that is photo quality when I used to make dvd cover art, but I have since retired from that

"RETIRED" ... that's funny. Me too. I was printing out quite a few covers... but those days are past...

I used to buy my cover paper from meritline.com. It won't be the same size a BD covers, but I guess you could cut it down to size. I bought one of those paper cutters that scrapbook people use. It zips right through, and makes clean cuts. I am thinking about replacing all of my stupid Warner cardboard snappers with keepcases.

I hate those damn things! Yet another wonderful idea from Warner, much like Total HD.

Yes, they do suck, they don't sit right on a shelf, its hard to stack them together and then get them off the shelf without then catching on each other and knocking the others over!
