I have been using the standard Criterion template that you can d/l from anywhere to make my artwork. It is sized 3220 x 1896 px for a printable 14mm spine. The width of this spine is 160px.

I found a dealer who sells Criterion-sized Scanavo cases for 4 discs, with a spine of 22mm. I would quite like to make a few Fake Criterions for 4-disc sets. (The Ocean's films? Ghostbusters? The Indiana Jones sequels? Sky's the limit!)

How do I adjust the size of the template to accommodate 8 more millimeters of spine, and what should the new dimensions be? I use GIMP and, being something of an idiot, could use an idiot-proof how-to. Thanks in advance!

I ran into this issue when I first made the first iteration of my Showa-era Godzilla set. I'm no math wiz by any stretch of the imagination and when figuring this out, I converted my file from pixels to mm, took out a ruler, and did some simple addition/subtraction. In the end I found:

The dimensions should be 3306 x 1900 (in pixels).

Your spine will start at 1523.
The center of the spine will be at 1653.
The end of your spine will be at 1784.

Hope that helps.

Enormously! Thank you very much, I'll start fiddling with it tonight.

Repeating an old question I made here:

Anyone here think they could make a custom blu ray cover of Gorgo using any of these posters?

jaws3dfan · 01-24-2024, 03:14 PM

Severin Films is releasing "Raiders of the Living Dead" on Blu-Ray, this disc also includes 2 alternate cuts of the film:

Dying Day (1983) 80 Minute Version directed by Brett Piper
Dark Night 72 Minute Version directed by Brett Piper

Anyone want to take a stab at making covers for the 2 alternate cuts of the film although there was never any official artwork?

I know this is a unique request but would anyone want to give this a try?

Like this?

The Mandalorian Season 1 4K version. I tried to make it as close to the style of the official movie releases as I could.

Hello, was looking for the cover for Arrow's bluray of The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion. I purchased the bluray off of Amazon (3rd Party seller) but the cover art is damaged so I am looking to replace it if anyone has one. Thank you!

Nice work! Are you sharing this for those in need?

BigDmo531 · 01-29-2024, 08:28 PM

Given the garbage packaging of Criterion's 4K Trainspotting release, it'd be cool to get some cover art for that as I wouldn't be surprised if that gets moved to a case for a lot of people. Also, I'd love to see someone make cover art for A24's Stop Making Sense 4K release if possible as I'm likely gonna move that to a case too

Posted this in the Trainspotting thread, I thought I posted in here too, but I guess I forgot.

Oh that does look familiar. I may have just missed it or saw it and forgot about it. Looks great though!

More Eastwood on Blu-ray. Put together this for Bronco Billy, really satisfied how I put the back together.

DM for a copy!

Justanothercrow421 · 02-02-2024, 08:23 PM

I plan on putting both parts of Dune in one 22mm, four disc case (two 4K BDs; two 2K BDs).

Using Greg Ruth's amazing artwork here (which was used for a lot of Mondo's releases surrounding the first film).

There's still some things to fix/alter/update, but this is basically what it's going to look like!

[Show spoiler]

And here is Season 2 of The Mandalorian 4K

Formal Andy · 02-05-2024, 03:14 AM

Another one. One I've had sitting around for a very long time that I've constantly made small tweaks on over the decade. Think I'm satisfied here. Hope this gets a 4K UHD some point.

Anyone have a custom Trainspotting to replace the shitty Criterion 4K packaging? Preferably shaped for a standard Blu/4K case?

I can make the one I did fit a Viva Elite case if you'd like

That'd be great.

I'm also looking for someone to print out custom covers for me. I would of course pay for all printing/shipping costs.

True Lies made to look like the trusty Fox DVD.

I decided to make these for those who didn't want to buy the new slips but enjoyed the new art.
