Agreed as well, as a huge fan of the movie I'm hoping to be able to have it upon completion. That is if dv8pdx would allow me to have it.

I've got updates. I did two backsides:

It's nice. It would be better if you used the movie tagline "You Don't Get To 500 Million Friends Without Making A Few Enemies." instead of what's on the front, but it's good.

does anyone know what font is used on the description on the back of this case?

I think it's Caslon, not sure which one though.... You could try plugging in some the text here.

This is beautiful work greg!!!

Maybe it's just me, but I love the look of this as is. I love the starkness of the back with the snow and just love the negative space (especially for this movie). I think more background text is just going to busy it up. I wouldn't normally feel this way, but with this cover it just feels right.

I would definitely go with the second one, without the blue highlight. I think the blue highlight detracts from the image and kinda draws your eye to it when you look, and you can't appreciate the rest of the image. the white lettering against the black background also looks more natural. Nice cover by the way...

Edit: Don't forget your signature too! Don't want people snaking your work! And I like seeing "cover designed by" on my custom covers too!

I also prefer the 2nd one. The front looks great - what do you think about a smaller, compressed font for the back specs (and maybe the numbers '2' and '3')?

Slightly smaller font would probably draw more attention to the pic behind it, I really like that idea...

You also might try roughing up the 2 and 3 a bit sort of like The Trilogy on the front.

Keep at it, you're off to a great start
