Custom Cover Art Thread

[stardragon9]

Here are a couple of retro covers for 'Grease"

Version 1 (closer to the original vhs cover);


Version 2 (I loved this poster too much to not make a cover out of it):


Send me a PM if you would like the links.

Nice work. I'll be using one of your F13th Collection covers, either the Criterion or the painting with the ax. The collection cover is for a 10 disc case? By any chance would you know what settings/size to use because of the wider spine?

And I been looking for a Terminator Collection one too, great job.

yeah, feel free to use whatever you want. the collection for f13 is 10 disc. the newer one with each movie listed individually on the back with the final chapter pic on the front is a 4-6 disc. can't remember the specs on the 10 disc off hand. i no longer have that template. try a quick google search maybe.

hmm, what movie to tackle next????

I got a head start the other day working up a matching Blu-ray cover for Season 2 of Stranger Things. It has no utility at the moment obviously. If (and hopefully when) we get a Blu-ray release for this though I'll make the full size cover image available for download. Still playing around with it.

For Season 2 I'll most likely offer a second version of the cover as well where different artwork is used for the front portion, a different backdrop and collage of images being used for the back portion. I'd also like to give props once again to andy33123 as their retro RCA VHS inspired covers are in part what inspired me to work these up.

Stranger Things: Season Two


Stranger Things: Season One

Does anyone have a custom cover for Frantic, I've got the ugly double feature release and don't really care for Presumed Innocent that much.

[Joshitaka]

isn't there a custom criterion cover thread somewhere?

Missed my deadline of October 31st, but here is my custom HALLOWEEN boxset.

It features 12 new re-authored discs for the best possible audio/video presentations, and includes every previously released extra compiled, as well as non-official, fan-made bonus material.







For more photos, menus, and a list of every disc's content, check out this Imgur album link.

Thanks for the feedback!! Unfortunately, I can't sell it because a lot of the artwork is from various artists and I wouldn't feel comfortable. Also, the discs themselves couldn't be sold because of obvious legal reasons.

Very, very Impressed!!!! This thing looks outstanding. Must've taken you quite a while to complete

Thank you so much! Designing the packaging wasn't toooo long—I'm a freelance graphic designer—but the custom discs with menus and all that....That was quite a pain.

But it was well worth it! It's the only edition of the HALLOWEEN movies I'll need (until next year when they inevitably re-release them)

Outstanding work! I'm not interested, but R.I.P. your inbox.

Can I ask how exactly you created the outer slipbox? I've wanted to do something similar for the Hellraiser/Saw films for a while now. Ideally I'd like to just emulate the Deluxe Halloween Collection box with artwork from each franchise.

I assembled the outer box with thick Chipboard (0.100 pts) and masking tape.

The artwork itself was actually printed on a kind of recycled paper at my print shop (don't know the exact specs) and glued carefully with rubber cement onto the box.

It worked better than I would have imagined, I was afraid I would have to try a few times at gluing the art, but I managed it on the first!

[meremortal]

Wow. A lot of these are amazing. I'll admit I'm a bit of a purist at heart and prefer to have the original poster art when possible. But at the same token I usually don't like to discard the artwork from official releases either. No idea where to really even start with these and probably moreso with printing them. I used to try printing custom covers for cds back in the day and was never satisfied with them to the point where I probably just ended up throwing them all away. Kind of a slippery slope kind of thing - seems like a side hobby of blu collecting that could become a little obsessive in the nitpickiness of trying to get them perfect.
