Any chance anyone might have something ?

Oscar Isaac looks kinda out of place, especially since he's just strolling while the others are running from the explosion haha. I think it might look better without him there. Overall it looks pretty sweet though, I like the composition and the colors

Depends if you're going to buffer the words "The Phantom Menace" between "Star" and "Wars". Otherwise if you do the full set it's going to look odd. It's a decent concept though, I like the use of the massive sky fading into black.

Hopefully someone around release will make a cover in the style of the 2001-06 DVD editions as that's what I think of when I think of Star Wars in home media.

I did intend to make the title treatment the same for all of them, with the subtitle between the Star Wars logo.

Awesome, should be great!

Looking for someone to make a cover for the 1973 Christopher Lee / Peter Cushing film "Nothing But The Night" but using the alternate title and poster Art "Castle of the Living Dead"

(Not to be confused with the Christopher Lee movie "Castle of the Living Dead" from 1964)

I'd wait until the movie is out so you have better/more art to work with. Seems pointless to design something now with only the limited images from the trailer to use, and none of the original cast on there.

Yeah, I did barely have anything to use, but I wanted to at least start on something. I now have a template to make covers for the previous six films.

Honest opinion is that it does not represent Star Wars well. Maybe its the color scheme or something.

Guys, PLEASE spoiler or delete repeat images

I realize it is a common complaint about cover art often referred to as "big heads" covers. Done poorly, it is a lazy way for the marketing department to come up with a cover that highlights the big stars in a movie as another way to sell it on video. On the other hand, when done well, a "big heads" poster elevates a fairly humdrum poster to something approaching "art". Check out the art used for an Italian one-sheet back in '69 for Hellfighters.

The Italian poster has been modified by me with English text and title treatment.

Looking for print help! I no longer have access to the printer I used for my covers, and am looking for some assistance. I'd like a printed copy of my Rebels cover, and I'm also looking for someone to print ctaulbee's matching spine Clone Wars covers for me:

Speaking of Star Wars, has anyone done custom covers using the original poster art for the original trilogy?

The most recent steelbooks use the poster art on the back, whilst the 2006 DVD releases did photo versions of the posters as covers.
