The idea is that they'll cover the top half of the back. That's why it's only 1 screenshot for a special moment from each film.

Here is the cover for Rocky 1. Click on the pic to see and download the high-rez full cover.

the back of that case looks awful, it could be recreated in microsoft word.

That's some nice constructive criticism.

I have never actually done this before. But DVDMIKE, I absolutely love those three covers. How Would I actually use them? Wont I need a different sort of ink and paper to actually print them ?

Working on a custom case project, and it's going to need something a bit different than usual. I need to track down glossy adhesive backed / label paper. I can really only ever find matte or non glossy finish. Any suggestions? It needs to be thin enough to wrap around the corner of something, so I don't know that adhesive photo paper would work.

I'm kinda full of requests right now. First I have to all my personal movies that I want covers for, then if I have spare time I do requests, and I have a lot at the moment. But if I get a chance I might be able to. But I'm pretty sure I saw someone make a Predator cover, I don't know if it was on this site or not.

Just wanted to say, the "Mean Girls" cover is freakin' awesome. The cover of that is as sexy as a Blu-ray cover can be, although Lacey Chabert or however her name is spelled looks extremely orange.

Don't forget to change the audio logos and the remastered in hd logo. It should be DTS-HD MA and dolby digital. Also, the year and run-time are wrong. Other than that, looks solid.

Oh dang, I had that fixed, must not have saved when I quit during that session. Thanks for the save!

Here's an update on my 'Return of the King' cover. The only thing missing now, which I can't seem to come up with a good solution for, is the text credits that usually go on the back of a cover. But hope you like it.

Probably. I'm only using Windows Paint and still a sort of newbie to the whole cover making scheme. I'm slooowly learning though

You should try GIMP or Paint.NET

Actually I have Gimp downloaded and will be trying it soon definitely. I'll be thankful for any advice you give me to help me learn it.
