Quite.

I always use original poster art if I can. My whole James Bond series (available for download on EuphoricFX) was based on the poster art being underutilized.

I put the disc in the sleeve. But there is a way to make a standard criterion case hold two discs. Just requires cutting and gluing. It wouldn't be too hard if the3 right tools are in your possession. I may make it a project over the holiday break.

I would love some custom Criterion Carlos covers. I really hate that packaging. It's cheap and makes the price of the set difficult to justify.

Apparently the font Criterion uses is Gotham Rounded Book.

I actually don't mind the look of the art. However, I put all my movies into disc sox to save space and their packaging is never compatible.

OK I had to read that like 15 times to make sure it says what it does, not what I thought it did.

So, I'm working on a Criterion cover for Carlos, for each disc. I will post the results when I finish it.

here is what I have come up with so far. I am trying to determine what font was used on the back of the cover and for the Carlos title so I can complete the back. I haven't had much luck yet.

I really like the color scheme on the release's digipak, so I decided to use it. I quite like what I've done so far it and any feedback will be appreciated.

Well, here is the finished product. NOTE THAT IT IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST DISC IN THE SET. I had it printed at Office Depot, but their printer kept leaving a "spill" effect on the paper, so I got a print out for free. I'll go back in a few days to try again. I think it looks excellent in a case.

Here is the image I printed. You have my permission to use it if you like it.

the Che set has a simplistic back cover that just has a scene list. I have the info on the Carlos digipak, I'm not going to retype everything. Well, perhaps ni the future I will.

Edit: I see what you're saying. The release date and stuff. I completely forgot about that. I will do the edit later.

[AreaUnderTheCurve]

The new edits.

I tried posting this the other day, but I just wanted to post the case art I made for my Robocop blu since Criterion most likely won't ever release the movie again. It's my first, so let me know what you guys think!

I like it! I love how minimalist it is.

My new edit with a back cover.

Anyone have an archive somewhere? I love all the custom ones in this thread but Ive been looking everywhere for covers with original artwork

This is what I mean:

The Black Rain artwork is what i used on mine except i changed out the background and did re-colouring on Douglas and his bike.



The old image is cool!!!! but to me hasn't aged very well why i did a revamp..

Does anybody have a template for the Criterion covers?

-or-

Can somebody post the dimensions for those covers?


Thanks.

Thanks.

I unfortunately only have one for standard BD cases. I have been going off a previous cover I have as a guide, one that actually fits in a criterion case.

Progress!
