Here's the first of many James Bond covers I've been commissioned to do in anticipation of the Big Bond Box:

Just jumping on Darren's coat-tails here. With all the wonderful James Bond covers out there (official and unofficial), it's pretty hard to come up with something that hasn't been done. There's bound to be some resemblance.

Does anybody have the original or custom art for the tv series 24 : Season 7 that will fit into a 22mm ?, 6 disc case ? my dog chewed up the case and artwork, so I need to recplace them. Please pm me if you can help.

Thank you

Lots of screenshots too, which makes for an interesting cover, but without just being slapped in.

Much appreciated, Im. As always, commissions are a collaboration between me and the client and the results are much the better for it.

WOW, nice work Nissen. Those background colors really make the artwork pop! Also, can I ask folks a favor when quoting something to reply to our artists fine work, can you put a spoiler tag over the image? That way it doesn't take so long to load when viewing from my phone when I'm out and about. Thanks in advance, love your creativity

well i got good news and bad news , good news is that i got a wacom bamboo that came with PE bad news is i have to learn about Photoshop at all

Here's all three titles for the "Lord of the Rings" films in vector format, based on the actual screen text. They're Illustrator files, but Photoshop opens them as PDFs with a transparent background. Enjoy!

Thanks, Moviefan.
I appreciate all the sharing you do here and in other threads. Wish I was as altruistic.

Here's one more Arrow Conversion that Hubunkey says can be shared.
This is for a Combo of the OmegaManTrade Blu of the film, coupled with the 2008 Dimension DVD for extras.
My first ever pink cover!

PM me your email and I'll send one over.

[Hubunkey]

I just wanna add that I try to have Nissen use artwork that is either by Tom Hodge or Rick Melton and if I can't find any bye them then I try to find something that resembles the Arrow artwork style. I looked for 3 days and that is the most unique NotLD poster I found.

I've never been much of a NotLD fan but that cover is very eye-catching. Makes me wanna watch it....which is what a cover should do I suppose.

You're welcome, but I can't take all the credit. I did the initial shapes myself, but since I don't have Illustrator, a friend online vectorized them for me. His name's Brett Roby, and he does this kind of thing professionally.

Arrow ooze retro-cool....

It's just the way we roll.

can't remember who i got them from...sorry ....but wanted to show off my matrix covers!!!

UPDATE: I just noticed an error in these files, so I'm deleting them. When opened in Photoshop at a resolution above 600, the results are stretched vertically. I'll repost them once my friend and I get everything in working order. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Arrow is a unique style and I know ALOT of people hate the UK rating logos but they are part of the original design and have to be there or they look weird on the shelf next to the original's. Some people don't like the Criterion design either. They all look good on the shelf next to each other though

I design all sorts of things as a hobby, and I like having most of my logos as proper vectors. That way, I can do everything from small cards to billboards.

Everything I get from the UK except Arrow titles go into regular sized cases. Most of the covers slip right into a Vortex case without any snipping

I just store the Arrow next to the Criterions and they look good. Now mixed in with everything else would be kinda odd

I wish there was an easy way to get extra green cases. I would love to use them for my TMNT movies. Though I would preferably need 2 disc cases (and preferably at least one 3-disc case).

[Pixelfox]

I haven't actually even seen Mirror Mirror, but in the months leading up to its release I spotted a few of its posters around the net and loved the designs.

So I was so sad today when I saw a photo of the Blu-Ray. I hate the cover. It just seems.... childish, I guess? Even the only slightly altered DVD artwork is infinitely better. So for fun I just put together a few new covers using some of the poster art. Dear Relativity Media, I threw these together in literally a few minutes and they look better than the official cover. Get your crap together.
