Is there a thread for custom Album Cover artwork?

[madridista8700]

Finished my Fox (/MGM) template and I can now continue on I, Robot.



So far, so good. Now I need to brainstorm for the back.

And while I do that, I started on this as well:





Which of these works the best?

The artwork has been reworked extensively so now the castle and helicopter are no longer connected to the Burton/Eastwood image. The explosion of the castle has been expanded and the castle and helicopter moved under a bar of images.

In keeping with some of the other movies the images are placed on cards. If anyone has an idea of something "Where Eagles Dare" theme specific to place the images on I would like suggestions.

Blu-ray.com was good enough to provide a big image of the double feature back so I could ensure the specs matched. This included adjusting the running time and making it region free instead of region A locked (who knew).

Finally the synoposis was placed on a path.:

So guess my work on this was'nt that bad after all.

That was him? Okay, no harm no foul then. I didn't make the connection. My apologies to Morsoth for dredging this up.

What are you referring to alphadec? I know you did a "Where Eagles Dare" custom but if I recall yours was vastly different with a black back cover and one still from the movie (Burton with the "dinner guests") at the top and text below.

A large part of my custom is based on a 2011 custom I completed in August 2011.

Here is the link at customaniacs for my custom on which the back is based (from August 2011):

Your "Where Eagles Dare" used the same 1960s theatrical release poster for the cover that I am using, but if I recall you had the original 3-deck tagline, which I converted to a 2-deck to better fit my blu-ray template for a custom I did in August 2012.

Here's the customaniacs link to my 2012 original custom which used that poster:

I am not talking about the back!, I am referring to the front, but nice to see you have included all the bits of the poster that I did use.

I'm still not following you alphadec...the front is the 1960s theatrical release poster and I modified it to create a 2-deck tagline so it would better fit my template. If I recall correctly you kept it as its original 3-deck tagline.

No matter.

yeah, pretty much. Thought I could find one in the Music section, but no.

[JM Jacen Kelsai]

Me, too. If anyone could point out a good CD custom cover site (a music version of Customaniacs, for example) I'd be most appreciative.

HOLY CRAP!
Great job man!

[crujonesbmxchamp]

Anybody thought about doing a Death warrent cover the new cover is horrible and has a lion heart image.The death warrent movie poster would be a perfect cover.

For now, I just use albumcoverexchange. Not for customs, though.
