Custom Cover Art Thread - Page 407 - Blu-ray Forum

Dynamo of Eternia · 10-19-2011, 01:32 AM

I just posted this in the slip cover thread, but since this thread deals a lot with customizing, I figured I'd post it here to incase anyone who frequents this thread (but doesn't typically go into the slip cover thread) has any advice...

I have sort of a strange question, but if anyone has any helpful advice, I would appreciate it.

I picked up the Pirates 4 3D Blu-Ray set today, and I want to customize the spine of the slipcover, if possible, to make it match up better with the first 3 movies (I have the original BD releases of the first 3 movies, before they were reissued in combo packs).

Basically I want to find some kind of sticky label paper that I can print on, cut to the right size, and put over the spine.

HOWEVER (and this part is VERY important), I want something that would peel back off fairly easily should I ever decide to remove it. Sort of like many of the stickers that come on the slip covers currently do (the ideal ones that peel off easily and don't leave any residue behind).

If anyone knows of any such labels that would do the trick, please let me know.

Something I've been working on in my very minimal spare time this week.

Don't like this one nearly as much as your others. They were just photos or screenshots from the movie that worked really well as a minimal cover. This one is a pretty poor PS job that I feel just doesn't work. Try to do the same as you did for the others, find a nice screenshot from the film with a lot of open space rather than just slap cutouts of a character and some zombies poorly on a background.

I originally designed this about 3 years ago, but have since become much better at it, so I decided to do an update. Here's a preview shot; you can download the hi-res versions right here. Enjoy!

i agree

boxterduke · 10-19-2011, 01:45 PM

Anyone has a custom or even a scan of Pirates 4 cover?
I have the Metal Pack version and usually store these so they don't get scratched and put the disc in a normal case.
I would really appreciate it.

Jurassic Park cover, design shamelessly ripped off the UK Tin set. Still made from scratch tho!

Hey, i tried to use your BD Case template to put a cover I created, could you give me a mini tutorial on how to adjust my cover to fit your template?

I'll be the first to admit I'm not fantastic at photo manipulation, but the only reason I kind of went down that road is because I was having trouble finding anything that'd work for zombieland in screencaps or posts. It's been kind of annoying. I think, however I did find something I may use although it'll still need some photo manipulation to get it wide enough. Back to the drawing board I guess. Simple is sometimes tough depending on what's available to use. Thanks for the blunt honesty.

Nothing, less is more.

that Crow is beautiful like that!!

Can anyone get me cover art for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen? I have the BSE and hate that cover, if anyone has the cover to one of the other BD's that would be awesome or even a custom cover would be great.

Shemp · 10-20-2011, 07:15 AM

Has anyone done a custom cover for The Phantom (1996)? Even if someone can do me an scan of the existing cover I'd be very grateful.

Thanks; I agree that the original poster image has become nearly synonymous with the film itself. Now, I'm working on the back panel, but most of it's been with the text aspects. Could someone please do some caps from the Blu-Ray, of these two shots? I'd love to use them for the cover.

Nissen · 10-20-2011, 05:38 PM

The circle is now complete. If any of you remember these were the first ever Blu-Ray customs I ever made. Now they're updated to reflect the specs of the actual releases.

Trilogy 3-disc version to come using the same concept.

These are conversions of the beautiful VHS special edition case from 1993. There were just some small adjustments to be made to fit the emblems of the later films.

My new scanner has a very narrow depth-of-field, so scanning the dimensional cover wasn't totally successful. The out-of-focus bits lose some detail if you look closely, but I masked it with some Photoshop-generated noise.

I have a Jurassic Park font on my system, but unfortunately it doesn't match the title treatment precisely. I still think it was close enough to give it a pass.

I tried varying the shades of grey subtly across the covers, but they may end up looking not so subtle, or even identical, when printed. I'd love to hear from some real-world users of these.

Distributed by PM as always.

Awesome JP covers!

Sending a PM for these!

This will be my first test on printing up a cover using the "new" printer that I just hooked up recently (I got it last year for free when my wife and I bought our new computer... we just never hooked it up before since we were using our old printer that we were more familiar with... but it recently died). Hopefully it doesn't suck.

vidjunkie · 10-20-2011, 07:55 PM

I just have to share this cover with everyone, Imrahil2001 made this custom cover for my Conan The Barbarian Theatrical reconstruction BD I am working on, and I think it looks GREAT! I wanted the theatrical feel of the old DVD release, I think he captured it well, what do you guys think?

I also want to Thank The Lizard King for helping me on this project, as well as Imrahil2001 for the cover.
