Looking nice. I would rearrange the writing on the back some, though.
Maybe move it over to the right a bit, so that it doesn't touch Spidey's knee, which will also force the text to fill up the blank space below it. Just a thought!

I don't think he needs to so much move the text to the side. It would be good though to work a text path that does not allow the text to touch the Spiderman figure. There are a number of tutorials on the Internet that detail how to accomplish this.

I used the text path technique to prevent the text on the back from interfering with the art on my "Shout at the Devil" back cover. It can be done manually but its much easier to create a path:

Thanks for the input bud. I knew the writing was off lol i wanted to list the features but then thought it was way to much to list haha..
Then again I noticed on the '02 dvd they just listed the features and no synopsis lol

Spent my afternoon working on this. PM me if you would like the printable version.

Finally got around to commissioning Nissen to create a Game of Thrones season 2 cover for me, that I could use with a normal 5 disc case.

Have never been a fan of those fold out cases that TV shows use.

He did a great job on this, the gold and maroon really match the cover image and the colors of the Lannister's house.

Bytor2112 looking good, do you plan to add something to the cover and spine that links the set together?

i have some ideas floating around, not too sure which way to go yet. coming up with this one was easy enough, but mixing 5/6 and 9/10 are going to be hard to come up with ideas, lol.

there will be for sure something linking everything together.

Looks great! I have an idea for the spine, to get it less busy with the repetition of "Friday the 13th" you could put it once, followed by the 2 movies titles. That way, all the spines get the same look. The same could be done on the front cover.

I did that quickly to give you an idea:

I like this because you can insert Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X and they still have the "Friday the 13th" on the spine. When I display my blu-rays I like to use alphabetical order, this way on the shelf they would all be together under "F" instead of some under "F" and some under "J"

Worked two credit blocks in several fonts. I think the ability to do the credits in all manner of fonts is one of the really useful features of the character styles:



I like that it just needs you writing out the credits instead of consulting a character map as you need to with Universal acc and SteelTongs

That does look nice, the only problem is that when you have them all next to each other on the shelf it's going to read shuffled.

|4, 3||6, 5||8, 7| ...etc

Yea, need the titles to be opposite so it reads 3,4| 5,6| 7,8
