Just a suggestion and I think it looks fantastic otherwise! I hope you welcome constructive criticism.

Hey again,

To continue on my notebook issue, the graphic on the back used to make the picture frames is a complex vector image that would be quite hard to alter, so until I can find a viable solution, I find it difficult to get the text to flow better!

I copied and pasted the "and the Deathly Hallows" part into the picture. Do you mean you want the shiny Harry Potter letters on the cover?

I think this would look good!

But probably without the shadow effect!

Hey, I'm a graphic designer and do this kind of stuff on a daily basis. You could send me the vector file you are showing in the images above and I could seperate them for you and send back individual eps files, if that would help. I don't even have a need for a notebook cover, just would like to help you make it better. PM me if you need my email, or it's on my site.

Since it's the movie you're doing the cover for you may want some elements from the movie itself on there, along with using the book cover. You could keep what you have and then put screenshots on the back and that would be sweet.

BTW I've been searching for the other six full length covers and haven't found anything yet. Let you know when I do.

How's this? I'm still not so sure if it looks better or not, I'm undecided lol.

Awesome - great stuff. Thanks so much!

Another couple I forgot about earlier... Wall-E (I saw this on the shelf photos, but couldn't find a download), and Pushing Daisies seasons 1 and 2.

I know something similar has been asked before, but can someone in the UK scan the cover for Nature's Great Events. The packaging here in the US for Natures Most Amazing Events is - well - bloody awful and I have an empty two disc case that would be just perfect. Thanks in advance.

RebelJeeper · 07-25-2009, 03:12 PM

The original Planet of the Apes movies scans or customs? Anyone? Bueller...

Unicorn Martyr · 07-26-2009, 02:06 AM

Does anyone have or could any create a custom cover for TMNT: The Movie (1990) with the "Pizza Box" cover art from the upcoming collection?

mplsfalls · 07-26-2009, 03:36 AM

Could anyone make a blu-ray cover for Leon the Professional? I have sold all of my DVD's with the exception of Star Wars and Leon, but I still would like to see them in similar cases so I can build some shelves sized for blu-ray.

Clapton101 · 07-26-2009, 04:43 AM

What program do most of you use to make your custom covers, and what do you use to see how it would look in the case like some post here?

Illest Villain · 07-26-2009, 06:23 AM

I use Adobe Photoshop but I have seen others use Gimp and sometimes Adobe Illustrator. Imandix is the program used to see how it would look with the case.

I'm gathering from having stumbled across this thread that dv8pdx doesn't post here any more, which is unfortunate. I was wondering if anyone knows if these covers ever were finished? I think they're very striking and given the kind of...uh...special packaging the set comes with I'm looking for alternatives.

I second this!

BigDumbWookiee · 07-29-2009, 12:59 PM

Yeah, count me in as part of the crowd looking for BSG replacement cases too.

That and Fanboys. If anyone out there can make a custom Fanboys cover, english only, I'd appreciate it!

Can anyone give me the dimensions of a 5/6 case slipcover? Overall length/width, and well as the length/width of just the front?

In light of the tmnt collection having no cases and coming in a super fragile box, we need custom art for all 4 movies asap.

Oh, I know, I tried to do some a while ago but it's so hard to find good images to use for the covers!
