Very nice. Just artistic curiosity, but why did you omit the starfield?

Unusable. It was terrible quality (see photo), at least by my standards. I may replace it at some point.

im looking for someone who can make a bluray cover for the 2013 carrie and the canadian blu release of the black christmas remake. id be willing to pay for someone to print it and ship it to me. the reason id like someone else to print it is because every time i try printing my own its too small

Go Here..

UnderCover10 Software

Download the program. Once installed open the template settings and do the following... (you can simply adjust a pre-existing template which is what I did)

Open Undercover10
Select "Edit Template"
Click "Add"
make sure the "center" box is checked.
click the "auto detect this format" box
For Width type: 160.4
For Height type: 274.3
Insure that the "millimeters" option is selected under Units.
Rename the Name to: Criterion Collection
Under Cut Markers/Fold Lines click "add Line"
Select Vertical Line on Left of cover
Select Dashed
Press ok
click add line
select vertical line on right of cover
Select Dashed
Press "ok"
Press add line
select horizontal line on top of cover
select dashed
press ok
press add line
select horizontal line to bottom of cover
select dashed
press ok.


That should get you quality Criterion covers. I also have "Viva Elite" saved on my end. Same process as above but change Width to: 150.0 and height to 268 and rename the template.

Following these settings you can create a Criterion template, and a Viva Elite Sized template. I recommend printing all Blu Ray covers under the Viva Elite template settings as they work with all cases. The existing size in the program results in covers that are just slightly too large meaning they need to be trimmed to fit a standard case.

Hey quick question for the MCU cover users. I was thinking of asking Nissen to make the Guardians 2 cover based around the black and white version of the DVD artwork, but that would mean that the cover would be a black and white tone and that really does not fit the film at all. Since there are other users that utilize these covers I am asking your opinion on it. Would you prefer colorful and bright like the Guardians 1 cover or Black & White to match the promo poster

I made a couple quicky covers the FYC DVD sets of these Netflix shows that I bought off eBay.I know they aren't Blu-ray but I make all my covers Blu-ray size and just put the DVDs in the case until a Blu-ray release arrives. I was going to ask stardragon to do the Stranger Things cover since I based my idea off of his design for RCA covers but he is dealing with stuff to at the moment and I didn't wanna bother him with it so I created a lesser version of it, hopefully once he returns I can ask him if he would be willing to take a stab at it

I know absolutely nothing about PhotoShop or whatever software you are using, but I was wondering why you didn't just recreate the starfield. You've done nice work with it, regardless.

Personally, I'd go with something a bit more colorful for GoTG. If the black and white image is surrounded by other colorful images it could still look good though.

Alternative Logan cover art for Brazilian version.

Only missing the credits block, which is a PAIN IN THE *** to reproduce.

Hey TripleHBK do you happen to know the size of the Height for a Viva Elite 4 disc case?
I know its got to be close to a Criterion case, I'm just not sure off hand what is the best number here.

Also It might be a month or 2 before I get around to having Nissen do Guardians Vo. 2 and I assume Spidey Homecoming will be out by then too so I will hopefully just have him do both of them sometime this fall. I have some extra exspenses coming out because my son just started football

Looking forward to it! These are awesome and very much appreciated!

Doctor Strange has been upped to the Marvel imgur

And here are a few more covers I tossed together myself because I wanted simple spacesavers. TCM, Chucky & Hellrasier all have the newest films also listed so I don't have to update the cover when they are released. Scream also includes Scary Movie and Shriek If You Know....... because I wanted to put them in the same case and Grindhouse includes the American Grindhouse/Nightmares In Red White & Blue because again I wanted to store them in the same case

If you use Undercover then just choose PS3 and it should print it out at the correct size for a 15mm Viva elite case

I noticed that all of the VHS covers like these aren't posted on your youtube channel. I was wondering if there are versions without the green/red "stickers" on the spine and front cover. Regardless, looking forward to your full sized cover links.

Hi dude. I haven't finalised the covers yet. I have them all on PSD so I can remove stickers on request
