Great pq aside, I'm so glad I bought this if for no other reason than to have a place to display that cover!

I just want simple white covers and backs, and I want to be able to type in different font sizes, and be able to change the angle of my type so that it will fit on the spine correctly. I used to use a huge version of photoshop to do this in the past, but I know there has to be something better, smaller, and easier to use. Thanks in advance for any help.

anyone? Ron, what are using these days? P.S. I've found a couple close to what I want, but they won't print with an outline to cut out the labels correctly.

Hey Bip, I don't think I've ever printed a CD cover, so I'm not much help there. (I don't even use any program to print my DVD and Blu-ray covers.)

As for labels, I have the Epson Artisan 1430 printer that prints directly on printable discs. Absolutely love it. When I did the pain in the a$$ peel and stick labels, I used Cyberlink Labelprint which would print on a number of different brands of labels.

The last time I used software to print CD labels (disc labels, jewel case inserts, etc.) I used "CD STOMPER". It was/is a "kit" with a label "stomper", and pre-scored/creased paper that worked perfectly. The software was crude by today's standards, but it worked perfectly. I was using Windows XP at the time.

I would imagine you could go into Office Depot/Max or Staples and find similar software bundled with paper. Avery probably has a template. I know you're looking for free, but those are my suggestions.

EDIT: Here's a link to CD STOMPER.

Hello all,
I wanted to see if someone can do a request for me. I need a custom cover for the Donnie Yen film Legend of the Wolf aka New Fists of Fury. Any help on this would be appreciated. Great custom work by all BTW.

Has anyone got a nice Exorcist cover to replace the digibook version? I like the art on that release but the packaging looks a bit clunky.

I did something similar, but was driven to make them as close as possible to my old VHS rental copies - I even left the Stereo/HiFi flag on Beyond Thunderdome. Colours look a bit weird on the pic - crap camera.

I figured it was October so why not have a new Crow cover

PM for a printable copy!

phraseturner · 10-05-2016, 05:28 PM

I could really use a scan of the 2D release of X-men Apocalypse. I purchased the Target exclusive that comes in the "yearbook" packaging. But I'd prefer to simply house the disc in a standard case on my shelf. Can anyone help, please?

There's actually a couple nice ones available at R1DB Cover Archive:

http://r1db.com/covers/

I don't know if I'll do a custom for it or not, still haven't even got my copy yet. But if I do, it'll probably just be riffs on the covers I did for the DVD:

chewiejr · 10-06-2016, 03:43 PM

Hey does anyone have a Coraline blu ray cover?
or a set of Coraline, Paranorman and boxtrolls?

I had a little accident involving training a puppy and my Coraline blu ray case

any help?

I hope you do because I was actually just hoping for a re-size of that second cover anyway! I had that for the DVD and not having it for the BD is the only downside in upgrading

As for R1-DB; I agree, some nice stuff on there too but I have problems with each of the covers for different reasons. AND, fun fact, one of the custom dvd covers for SL is one that I created personally years ago (before upgrading to yours).

BasedSPACER · 10-06-2016, 07:24 PM

Anyone who has downloaded my covers for Walking Dead's 5th and 6th Seasons, may want to download them again as there was an incredibly dumb spelling error that has since been corrected.

Thanks

No promises, but we'll see what I can do. Only drawback, I didn't save copies of original "clean" images, so they'll be complete do overs!

Alright, understood; thanks! On a related note, there's a pretty nice cover over at EuphoricFX too.
