Custom Cover Art Thread

[TimeandTimeAgain]

I am very impressed at the custom covers, some of them are much better than crappy covers that studios use

Hope someone does an "Easy Money" cover so that I can split up the 2 pack when I get it.

Good luck with the "Easy Money" cover, but FYI, this double feature is on a single disc.

They are for 25mm cases if that helps.

I know your question wasn't directed at me, but I have the same covers and posted a pic in this post: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...ostcount=19075

I used UnderCover10 (the latest version of UnderCoverXP) which is free software that many of us use to ensure our printer or OS software doesn't alter the print dimensions. I printed using the default Blu-ray setting (150.0 x 278.2), and it turned out perfectly. Again, I just chose the default "Blu-ray" setting on UnderCover10.

As you can see, the width of the overall piece is essentially the same as my retail, double-disc Avengers BRD which is a Vortex eco-LITE (172 x 135 x 11 mm). The 10-disc is a Viva Elite 171.5 x 136 x 25 mm. (Purchased on amazon here.) There are probably cheaper alternatives, but amazon removed the guess work for me.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Have a variant available without the DVD and Ultraviolet/Digital Copy/iTunes clutter? Also to leave enough space or added for the OST CD (Decca 289 467 045-2) including the tracks?
Just an idea. Since I usually have the OST CDs with the Blu-ray.

I found this online and tried it out.

The specs I used in creating this cover were taken directly from the official Universal blu-ray release. I do not have a variation of the cover without the Ultraviolet/Digital Copy/iTunes banner. Actually if it came down to listing the information on the Ultraviolet banner vs listing all the tracks from the original soundtrack I'd go with the digital banner "clutter" any day. But to each his own.

Alright. I could probably re-adjust it myself in photoshop without the unnecessary information of the DVD or Digital Copy. Probably just use the space for the Ultraviolet/DC/Whatever for the Compact Disc logo along with the front of the soundtrack cover then listing of the tracks? For myself I'd also consider a Blu-ray + Compact Disc Digital Audio logo but resizing it is another task.
Any suggestions? Only asked you since you possibly have a file with all the various layers in a psd format before you flattened the image.

Come on, Synapse. How hard would this have been?

Why not ARROW UK? (Said similarly to Doctor Zoidberg.)

[Show spoiler]If I had a choice, since I'm 100% multi-Region capable, I'd still own both for my collection.

Any good custom cover art for the Friday The 13th Bluray Collection? I only have a black & white printer & regular paper to print the cover with, so I need something simple but still creative that won't use a lot of black ink. This is the case I have on order from Ebay for the discs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221783692950...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The file I posted in the forum is significantly reduced in size so the quality is low. I do have a psd file before I flattened it to a jpeg but not to sound rude, I don't offer my custom covers that I spent hours creating to send to someone to tear it apart to fit their own "want list". If that's the case just start from scratch and create your own custom cover and include/omit/rearrange whatever you want. You'll have free creative control.

I'm not speaking for all the talented artists in this forum...this is just my own stance. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Art and I enjoy this hobby in my spare time. My covers are designed based first and foremost on what I want them to look like. Then I offer my work to other members of the forum based on its own integrity and merit. If others like it and want to use it for their blu-ray cases, that's great-I'm flattered they like it and I'm happy to share it.

But I refuse to invest hours/days in creating something and hand it over to someone to eviscerate it. Again this is not meant to be rude or condescending.

Thanks for understanding.

dosen't it need to be larger than a default setting though? due to the larger spine? it look like the edges got cut off in your picture.

But those movies, sadly, do not exist in their original forms and are now referred to their Episode numbers in the grand scheme of things. With that said and for the sake of consistency with the Prequel Trilogy which has always included their Episode numbers I applied it across the board. If we're ever lucky enough to get the original, unaltered trilogy on blu then I would certainly revise the title treatments and drop the episode #.

Oh they exist

As you may know, the use of Episode numbering has been abandoned. by Disney.

Anyone have customs for seasons 1 through 10 of Friends and seasons 1 through 6 of The Sopranos? Looking for covers that match the DVD sets.
