Once again I'd like to express my appreciation for the templates Illest Villain has shared with us. This is stuff you'd otherwise have to join a cover site and pay credits to access. That threshold was too high for me, and I wouldn't have started making covers if Illest Villain hadn't planted these right under my nose. Thanks again, IV.

EuphoricFX has a number of templates that are free for download.

For "Last Crusade" I had to do a lot of manipulation with the top half and bottom half of the poster frame brought together to make it more square. Re-building sections of that poster frame over which Indy and Henry Sr. covered it.

Then once I had a poster frame that fitted my template frame I cut out the inside of the poster frame and placed as much of that which would fit inside the template frame. Thankfully there was quite a bit of empty space below Indy's horse.

I always find it fun when I have to basically re-build the poster to fit a Blu-ray or DVD cover. I had to do some similar work when I made my Papillon cover from this image:

Hey runnersdialzero, you sent me a Benjamin Button Criterion cover a while back and I seem to have lost that email. Can you resend it to me at kevin.a.ketchum@gmail.com? Much obliged!

Reworked my Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull custom to fit the other three covers:

If anyone has any custom covers for Spider Man 1 and 2 (with the info from the 2012 discs listed) or the art for the Criterion Curious Case of Benjamin Button made to fit a Criterion case, please let me know.

Hi Seth, I'm not sure if you were asking me but a 2-disc digi was about $15 maybe. It's been awhile since I bought any. I don't think Zoltan is making many lately.

Great looking covers runners!

I rarely make it the same color but i thought if I made the criterion box white or red, it would detract from the simplicity of the cover. That's also why I made the criterion logo and the spine text black and not white.

Behold an all new level of geekiness!

These are for DVDs once again (these movies aren't on Blu-Ray).

Shout Factory via Time Life recently put out a set of Seasons 1-7 of Power Rangers (1-3 being the "mighty morphin" era, with 4-7 being when the show started changing subtitle names each season).

I'm working on custom covers for the two movies that will match up with the sets. The designs of the "Mighty Morphin" sets vary a bit from the looks of seasons 4-7. As such, I am making the cover of the first movie match up with the look of the "Mighty Morphin" sets and the look of the second movie match the 4-7 sets.

I started work on both of them over the weekend, but ended up getting a lot farther along with the second movie. So, what's posted below is my progress with that one (I did start on the first movie, but I'm not far enough along to really post anything with it yet). I did a low quality test print last night... a few things on the spine some minor adjusting the properly match up with the corresponding season sets, but for the most part it matches.

Some items to note... Each of the Season sets has a black box at the top of the spine with a white outline and white writing indicating the number of discs in the set. For the movies I am putting a B&W version of the 20th Century Fox logo in that same place. Also in order to maintain as consistent of a look as possible, rather than entirely omitting the Shout Factory logo from the lower part of the spine, I instead took it and edited it so the same basic shape is there but with the words eliminated. It serves no purpose for the films themselves and is basically just a "random design" on the case, but it helps maintain the consistency. Also, in place of where the season number appears on the 4-7 sets, I instead put "Movie II" to help maintain consistency, but going with the roman numeral look instead of regular numbers so it won't look too confusing when displayed between Season 4 and 5 (which is when the movie takes place chronologically).

Also the background coloring for each season set is based around the color of one of the rangers, with that ranger appearing on the spine of the box. Since there was no green-based set, I went with that for this box. The first movie will be based on the White Ranger, which is proving to be something of a challenge.



So, yeah, I know, it's geeky. If anyone care, I welcome comments and (constructive) criticism.

I actually think it looks really cool the way that you did it. The simplicity is nice IMO.

Though I can see where some may not care for how it varies from other Criterion covers with the box not being easily seen.

Hail to geekiness

I don't know much about these series... only thing that I know is one of my most preferred B-movies director (Isaac Florentine) worked a lot on this Power Rangers series and that I always wanted to see the episodes he directed

Reworked my rework of this Indiana Jones title:



This involved quite a bit of manipulation of the original poster which was too thin and wide. As I did with Last Crusade I reformatted the box to make it more square by separateing the top and bottom of the box and then bringing them back together. Then rearranging the inside elements to fit the template box.

I also found a piece of art for the top of Indy's hat which fits seamlessly. If you look at the poster art his hat is cut off.
