Indeed!

This is my first attempt at making a cover. What do you guys think?

It's great! Although you might wanna arrange the back a bit, it looks too chaotic. Maybe center the titles and put them all in one color, because as it stands now, I am having a difficult time reading the titles.

Just a suggestion of course. I'm a beginner myself

Nice to see you back Nissen. I did PM you a while back, so I'm still waiting, but its ok As far as I can tell, you are one of the best, if not the best, custom cover maker I have ever seen. Props to you

Awesome work.
Did you ever play around with the idea of some sort trim or border around the titles? It would make each one pop out more

Now we're talking... you should also make the word 'collection' on the spine black so it will not get lost in the background.

I'm working up individual covers for "BSG: The Complete Series", "Razor", "The Plan" and "Blood & Chrome" which are based on the above customs Lava_Lander created for "Caprica", "BSG: Seasons 1-4" and "The Plan/Blood & Chrome". Been having a great time in Photoshop over the past few days building my own template based on Lava_Lander's design. In my case I'll just be using the front and back portions of each cover for use with DVD Profiler and My Movies. Will need these additional covers to round out Lava_Lander's set per how I have things organized within My Movies for WMC7. That being said, I just put the finishing touches on the cover for the series as a whole earlier today. Thought I'd share the end result. Well, a preview anyway. See below.


Had a lot of fun with this one, particularly with respects to the front portion of the cover. Found a cool promotional photo online that I decided to go with though I didn't want the cast to look like they were standing on an unfinished set, so I Photoshop'd the top portion extending the center column to the ceiling, then added a wall texture behind the column while also making it appear that there's a small ledge there where the wall texture begins. Turned out great I thought. Before and after pics shown below prior to adding the title treatment.

Awesome job. Really need to break down and subscribe to euphoricfx. Haven't done so since they started with the subscriptions. Just don't like the idea of the subscription renewing on its own after whatever period. I'd rather it expire instead. :-P

Love what you have done there. Although since there are 21 BD's you would need to make a Vol. 1 and a Vol. 2 so you could fit all the BD's in two blu disc Blu Cases. The largest I have found is a 10 disc case (25mm) spine http://www.casetopia.com/Viva_Elite_...br10-elite.htm

Props to Lava_Lander of course for the awesome customs I based this off of. And yes, clearly in the real world the cover wouldn't suffice per the 21-disc U.S. release of the series that I own on Blu-ray. As I said though, I'll only be using the front and back portion of the cover within the digital realm per DVD Profiler and My Movies, all my Blu-ray discs actually stored for playback within Sony Blu-ray changers. (Feel free to hit up my gallery here if you'd like to check out my setup.) As such, any number of titles/discs will fit in this "virtual" Blu-ray case. :-) Eye candy below showing what the title looks like within the My Movies for WMC7 interface, including all the titles grouped under it which sport matching covers now as well. Gotta love it!

Sukie and Doctor.Who how about now? I've changed the effects on the titles to pop out more.

Nice job. I like what you did with the titles on the back. Plus the remake looks really good

The collection is outstanding!!! Great job! As for the 2009 remake, it's a bit dark and not very noticable as to what the pictures are of. Try to find pictures of Crystal Lake (where it all began) and take a cue from the coloring. That is my two cents... You're really on a roll!
