Thanks I always get bored when finishing the back cover. There's a lot of tedious tiny changes that I normally wouldn't notice

Also I'm unsure of whether to list all the special features as its a 3 disc set from Arrow <_< Might tighten up the blurb and keep referring to my Seven Samurai bluray. Also I wouldn't mind using more images but I need to follow Criterion's example (keep it simple) which is either use 1 image with a bit of artwork (in this case the class of students) or use about 3 screenshots - not both. Its really hard making the back cover look interesting especially since its a B&W design

Shame I can't find Battle Royale's font. It uses 2 different types of font, one is the Times New Roman sorta look (but different) and the other on the movie posters is a chunkier Tahoma sort of thing. I'd literally have to browse font websites to get it right I think. And I don't have access to Criterion's official font (costs $70) so the text isn't perfect (unless I left everything untouched), the s's seem to be bigger than the rest of the text, dunno why. I have to re-adjust every s by a size of 0.5

Makes me think this would be kind of neat printed on a transparency instead of a standard cover.

+1

I think that would look awesome, especially since its TRON

Oh, well it looks great to me.

Man I am really really liking all of the TRON covers that are showing up here right now. I can't read the back too well of this one (I'm assuming because of IMANDIX) but I really dig the front of this cover. It's simple (by simple I mean not a lot going on, not amatureish) and yet stylish.

I usually don't like art that draws your eyes to the center of the piece but this one really really works, I guess maybe with the rings around The Grid its MEANT to draw your eye there?

Very very nice work indeed. KEEP THE TRON COVERS COMING!

[bpmford]

Thanks a lot three-fifty... My intention with the front was to be elegant and clean... I wanted to incorporate lots of details without having it busy...

I can actually show you the back closer:

That's exactly what I like. I like things to look nice and clean, I'm not a flashy guy. I believe in the saying "less is more" sometimes the things that look simplistic just have the greatest effect. And thanks for the back by the way, there was a lot of little stuff that I didn't notice at first, like the light cycles creating the border... that was brilliant by the way.

No probs buddy!

yea, I agree, 'less is more' is my philosophy too!

YES!!! I didn't notice them in the IMANDIX version, but those light cycles are such a great touch!

backslahio: While I am the fake criterion nut I have plans to buy the Arrow Video collection version and wanna keep it in that collection. Covers look great though.
