Someone made a 'Resident Evil: The Alice Chronicles' cover and I thought I'd make a similar cover. It has some pictures the same as his, though mine is more of a 'what would I do' with the concept. It's nothing special I think, but I figured I'd show it anyway.

It's easy to slap a spiffy movie poster onto the front cover, that's the easy part. But it's the back side that requires the most attention. It looks like you're just hurrying up to get to the next movie.

Just some friendly criticism.

In this case, I feel it's somewhat more preferable than slapping the text over the image. =]

Saying my stuff is not quality is not "friendly".
They are my design, and the way I want them to look, I could rip into your covers but I think that's none of my business.

Sweet. I likes me some clean covers.

Not to add fuel to any fires, but I also prefer the text to be separated from the image whenever possible. Looks cleaner and more organized.

Omg! Freakin` bad ass covers!

I know that Casper isn't even scheduled for release (WHY?!), but has anyone ever made a cover for it? I remember LOVING this movie as a kid and the VHS cover sticks out for me for some reason.. I would love for this movie to be on blu and have this as the cover art.

and just so everyone else can see it and for all that don't know. The Fast and the Furious IS Point Break, only difference is that they had cars and not surf boards in that movie. Same plot and everything.

this brings up a point I've been wondering about - why are actors names never under their picture? I don't get it.

Updated my Bloodsport cover a bit. Just need some specs to go in.

Now I have to change it!

[Show spoiler]

this looks great.

SethRex · 08-28-2010, 08:51 PM

Thank you Mr. J. I'm not sure if I should leave it like that or what else I could add. I had that idea with the girl and the dog, as a nod to the whole regenerate comercial...but I'm not sure what else I can add. I don't have a credits thing that advertises all 4 movies.

bsmith6470 · 08-28-2010, 09:58 PM

@SetRex Nice job!

I have tweaked my back cover. Added some molecular structure and a chemical structure stuff to the back. Still not sure about it.

SethRex · 08-28-2010, 11:13 PM

Yeah I like yours. The major thing about mine is that I'm missing the credits thing like yours has, though I'm not sure where I would put it. That's why I left it the way you see it. At least for now.

Looking good, BSmith. It's nicely laid out.

I can't help but find the text to be out of place - I think the front cover would look really good without any. And since it's custom for personal use, this can be done, you know?
