Custom Cover Art Thread - Page 769 - Blu-ray Forum

I'm expecting the german steel book to arrive any day now. I whipped up an English custom cover for it. I believe the special features listed are correct but not certain until I get the disc.

Anyone interested can PM me with email and i'll send it off to you.

Help a brother out...

I like the look of the 2nd covers font better, but the 1st covers font actually probably fits with the theme better. Both look fantastic though, so flip a coin and roll with it!

I kinda like the new Sorcerer art so I went with it. Believe me, it's no picnic retouching fold lines....that Cassandra Crossing one sheet took quite a while. I have an original insert poster for Sorcerer but have no way to scan it, too large. If someone creates a better one....I want it. I hate storing discs in digibooks.

I started touching up fold lines on the poster art for my Carrie cover before realizing my skills simply aren't up to snuff, so I just took pictures from another, cleaner poster and color-corrected them to match.

Retouching can be quite time consuming. I was a color retoucher, imaging specialist for magazine print media by trade for many years. Since I retired I've gotten a bit rusty but it's amazing how fast the skills return. Keep up the good work, I like your CARRIE concept. The original art was stunning.

has anyone tried to make the Lego Movie 3D Cover?

jradford · 04-23-2014, 04:01 PM

Started working on this guy. It still needs a lot of touch up work and smoothing of colors but i thought i'd throw it out here for constructive criticism. I love the key art of the 25th/legacy collection, the shattered glass is great. Only problem is i can't find the full image of Willis, it's cut off by a flame/screenshot, so i built his lower half.

The back is about half done but i'm having trouble deciding on a large older shot of McClane or individual shots from each movies with text from each.

this is my first post in here so if i was only supposed to put the completed work, let me know via pm and i'll delete my post.

I whipped this up from the best source I could find. Cleaned it up a bit and did some re-formatting. I have this as a high res PNG if anyone can use it. PM me an email that can take a 4 MB file.

Has anyone see a scan, convert or Custom for "An Affair to Remember"? Trying to get rid of this "Digi Book" and usually someone makes a cover for those that cant stand them. I am a member at most of the cover sites and before I try to commission someone I was just asking around first.

Thanks

I've been thinking about this one for a while. You post made me think about it some more as this is one of the last 2 or 3 digibooks on my shelf. I decided to try a couple of front cover tests to see if I wanted to do this one...

I'm open to any suggestions, but these are the only two things that I would consider for something for myself.

Either one would work great...

The real advantage of posting works in progress is that others can provide valuable feedback and catch errors.

Just finished my Amazping Spider-Man 2 slipcover design, apart from fixing a typo or two. Started a design for the 2D version aswell.

Thanks. Currently looking into either a combo or matching coverset for the first film.
