I'm having a hard time with the mixture of colors. I feel like the colors are just thrown in there to make it your own yet you're using the original posters.

Also, the title treatments for the prequel trilogy look off in the area of spacing, especially Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. If you want it to look better, or more authentic, then bring the top and bottom horizontal lines together, tighter around the "Phantom Menace", and shrink the box around "RotS".

I hope that's not overly critical, but it's just what I see.

Also, the "George Lucas presents" line looks just a bit out of place. I don't recall that ever being put on the front of a Star Wars cover anyway but...

Your Episode I logo also appears to be horizontally squeezed, you may want to work that out.

In terms of the rainbow effect, it looks too much like Star Trek: The Motion Picture's theatrical poster:

I think you've made a good start, but all the comments here are helpful critiques, I think.

The Phantom Menace does look a little off, because I had to tweak it a little. The original logo had "Episode I" in the brackets, and "The phantom menace" written underneath. Since I'm opting to omit the "Episode I-VI" from the front cover and just place a roman numeral on the spine, it probably will look a little weird I guess.

ROTS title could be tightened a little, I think I'd like to do that.

and i'm going to remove the really white streak of light from ANH...

I'm going for a "fantasy" feel to the covers, seeing how I see Star Wars as a space fantasy adventure - not so much "science fiction".

And about the "lights", I really have never seen any of the original star trek movies in my life, however i think i do remember seeing that poster now though... it's quite outdated now that i'm looking at it - and feel my lighting is far superior MOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

Once they're all done, they're going to be a B on my ink when I print them...

Thank you BPM for such kind words! You were one of the few that has inspired me to proceed with cover-making, and for that I have to give you much kudos!

Fantastic job on your "Finding Nemo" cover by the way, it came it wonderful!

master_8ball · 05-27-2011, 05:58 PM

Anyone have a custom cover for The Walking Dead?

I just bought a used rental that came in 2 separate cases, one says disc one and lists the first 5 ep. on the back, the other says disc 2 and has the remaining shows and special features on the back.

I have an extra 2 disc case at home I am going to transfer to.

dv8pdx · 05-28-2011, 09:27 PM

I think its finished. Just wanted it to be simple.

Very nice design; I like it a lot. One question, though: what size case is it designed for? Each of the first 3 films contain 2 BDs, so that's six right there, and if "On Stranger Tides" follows suit, that'll make 8. Is there such a thing as an 8-disc Blu-Ray case?

I was wondering the same thing.

I saw Ray's post and was like, Damn that was rude.

Does anybody have a custom cover for Practical Magic?

dv8pdx · 05-29-2011, 08:10 PM

finished - I think.

Trean · 05-29-2011, 09:06 PM

Very nice; you sure are quick with this kind of thing. My designs tend to take me a long time, because I'm such a perfectionist with them. Still, major congrats to you on this one; well done.

On a side note, you never answered my question about your "Pirates" cover. What size case is it intended for? You include all 4 films on the back, but the biggest capacity Blu-Ray case I'm aware of is 6 discs, which would only equal the first three films.

Beautiful...if available for download, at which site is your work displayed?

JPMay · 05-30-2011, 05:04 AM

I searched the thread and nothing came up, maybe someone knows..

I'm looking for some cover art for The Graduate and the original Superman movie... Does anybody have anything for either of those?
