On that note, I fixed up everything that was pointed out, and have two different versions.





Let me know which one you like better! I promise I'll try to stop making drive covers now.

Do you have this covers in high-res ?
thanks in advence.

Here's the Scream series that Nissen did for me. It was a great process which we worked on together, we both threw ideas around and came up with these. I didn't want overkill (no pun intended) on the Ghostface image, but finding images without him in was a task in itself. It all came together in the end, they look great printed and cased-up!

I think the second one shouldn't have the same header message as the first one.

It doesn't have the same tag-line.

They are the original tag-lines, Scream 2 used a similar one to Scream simply because it's a bit of a pun on the original one only this time referring to sequels.

Anyway, thanks for the positivity

Has anyone done a printable Pan's Labyrinth custom cover with original title "El Laberinto del Fauno" instead of the roughly translated one?

Do you have those available for me to print them some how? I very much would like those covers.

Nissen is fantastic at creating custom covers, however he does charge and it is worth it, he made a Miracle Beach cover for me which i love more then any bd in my collection. with that being said i doubt this member will give them for you for free.. but maybe you'll get lucky

Ah, okay then thanks.

I have been looking everywhere for a simple convert of the Back to the Future case to a smaller clamshell, but didn't find one. I made one a few hours ago and thought I'd post it here, then saw someone else is working on cases for each movie!

Either way, if someone wants this one, let me know.

Yep, that looks much clearer, now the title doesn't get lost in the colorful poster. Nice job.

@ rybev ... at the very least, a link to where I can purchase those Scream covers? They're amazing!

@ EVERYONE ... more pictures of the customs in actual cases please! I'd love to see how these look in real life!

Very cool!

Seriously don't like the dark red text and the bright red glow. Too much red, no contrast at all. Looks pretty cheap.

I disagree (obviously) I wanted covers that were faithful to the original artwork but with a new twist. The red lettering was agreed on straight away. All the red is part of a "blood" theme, gives them a bit of punch.
But you can't please everyone

Staying faithful to the original artwork would mean a white font with a lotta kerning. Like, I hate to sound like an *******, but I kinda am so, you're not going to please anybody with that dark red/light red glow title. It looks very very very bad. Like, seriously. Nothing should ever even have a light red glow. It just screams 'default blending options w/o any idea what colours look nice'
Now I bet you're capable of way better. Lots of times I end up looking at something for so long it's hard to judge changes I make.

But seriously. Lose the red glow and the dark red title. It's honestly quite bad. I'm willing to bet anybody would take a clean white title over that any day.
Again, sorry for being a dick. I don't mean it. I just mean to stress how bad something looks and hopefully steer you in a better direction.

So you are a (whatever was bleeped out) but you are sorry for it? I don't like the red TT either but I can communicate it without soundling like a 14 year old valley girl one minute and a know-it-all who believes their opinion to be the only valid one the next. Geez dude take a break from posting.

Oh and I didn't like either of your drive covers. Both were dissatisfying to my eyes, but I didn't jump all over you like an a-hole for posting the 3,480th Drive customs.

[manicsounds]

I guess it's not really a custom 'cover' art, but I decided to make inside artwork for the discs with nothing inside. Here are 3 that I did: "Drive" "Attack The Block" "George Harrison: Living In The Material World"

That's cool that you don't like them but I'm just pointing out a very specific and major problem with his Scream covers that require immediate attention - take my comments or leave them. I may present my opinions as fact but you're welcome to ignore them. I personally advise against that but nobody is forcing anybody to listen to me or do what I say. Don't agree? Ignore it, and he can keep the covers the way they are. That doesn't infringe on what I have to say though.

All tastes and opinions are subjective. Personally i love the TT, in fact that was the first thing i said must stay. I find it very effective and totally not "bad".

A few posters have requested the covers for themselves so it's obviously a personal taste issue.

The point of posting the covers is to get opinions, which a few of you have. Doesn't change my opinion - they're great and look amazing "in the flesh".
