Custom Cover Art Thread

[aaron158]

wondering if someone can make up some replacement art works for some movies. these movies were imported from non English countries so what i would like is artwork for them that would look like what would be official artwork released in north America if the company who owned the rights in n/a had bothered to release them.

here is the list of movies i need artworks for.

Twins 1988 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Twins-Blu-ray/167842/
Junior 1994 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Junior-Blu-ray/67509/
The Net 1995 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Net-Blu-ray/94197/
Just Friends 2005 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Just-F...-Blu-ray/4475/
Maximum Overdrive 1986 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Maximu...lu-ray/128484/

couple here that have us release but have better overseas versions so maybe u could just take the us version but edit the specs to the overseas specs

Coming to America 1988 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Coming...Blu-ray/77472/
The Italian Job (2003) https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-It...Blu-ray/75633/

if there's any specs missing from the bluray.com listings missing that u need to fill in the back of the artwork just post back here and let me know and ill will post it.

Okay everyone, I need some advice. I am attempting to create a CBS Fox style cover for 'The Force Awakens'. I am having some trouble deciding what I want to do with the side logo. Here are the two examples of what I have come up with. The first is with the movie logo and the other is with the traditional CBS side font.

Here is the first one:



And the second one:



Please let me know which one you prefer. I am also going to attempt to create all of the Star Wars movies as CBS Fox videos, but it may take some time.

The 2 different sets of VHS covers I have their actual logos on the side, so maybe more the first one...but I thought there was a version of the 3 films that match the second one too, so go with your gut on this one.

[JekYL]

The second one for sure. The newer style poster already makes it look a bit out of place on a retro cover, so the classic font on the side helps detract from that a bit.

[stardragon9]

Thanks for the advice. I think I will make both that way we all have the best of both worlds. I will get them posted once I finish them (hopefully with the entire series in tow).

Has anyone made covers for Deadpool using the Imax poster or the Rob Liefeld poster?

They can be purchased for a bit over ten dollars and would seem to be easier and faster than using an Xacto knife and ruler.

(The picture is a Fiskars Surecut Titanium Paper Trimmer, but there are others available.)

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I try and use that, I usually end up with a "curved" straight line. It just doesn't seem to want to cut straight along the borders of the image when you make the pass over the page.

I've never used one; if the cut isn't completely straight, then it sounds like the cutting wheel is wobbling.

I think these are marketed for cutting printed photos, so I thought they might be a good option for custom covers.

Still might try one when I start printing covers; if it doesn't work they're still pretty inexpensive and could come in useful for cutting other stuff.

Anyone have a Hell or High Water alternate cover? Not a fan of the one they used.

So the BBC for some reason switched from chunky Vortex cases to digistack for the ninth series of Doctor Who. This was annoying me for two reasons - it doesn't match the form factor of the rest of the releases, and I generally hate cardboard packaging.

So, I decided to fix that, and grabbed myself a scan of the slipcover artwork to try and shrink it down to fit a 22mm Vortex case. I actually ended up rebuilding the front cover and spine from scratch, as the slipcover was a different aspect ratio to what I needed. The back cover had some minor rearrangement, but otherwise was a shrunk and cropped scan.

Photos below of the WIP - there's a few minor tweaks I need to make before I'm happy with calling it finished. Side-by-side comparisons with both the Series 8 set, and the original digistack.

I made the mistake of printing this on Kodak photo paper, so the inside is covered with their logo.

I like the Rob Liefeld poster better. Has more of an old school feel to it, which I like.

[Kellz]

Has anyone considered making a cover for Powers season 2 ?
