When replying and quoting posts with images in them please remove the image from the quote and replace it with text, such as the movie title.

This helps keep the thread clean. Thanks in advance.

Or even better, just wrap the images in quote tags

Print is a good way to start, but the sooner you get into PS, the faster you learn

SethRex · 07-13-2010, 03:34 PM

Blow me down....crap

But thanks for the compliments guys.

EDIT: I updated my original covers post with the TRUE JIGSAW face cover for Volume Two :-P

I don't believe so. Sometimes when I go to check it, none of the discussions are bolded to show me that new stuff exists, but when I look at the dates of the latest posts they are newer than the last time I checked the group.

As I have always said, the forum thread will get continuous traffic as I still believe groups are tucked out of the way. This creates a delay in discovery time versus the thread on page 1 of a high traffic forum.

I want to do some sort of custom case for my National Geographic blu-rays. Not just a multi-disc blu-ray case, but some kind of cool multi-disc box. I'd like to somehow customize a multi-disc box of some sort, or find any kind of storage box that could hold the super thin dvd or cd cases, and make a mega boxed set. Perhaps something like the Harry Potter boxed set that came out. Or, for instance, something like this:

Anyone care to brainstorm with me and suggest ideas?

the.criterion · 07-14-2010, 02:14 AM

Got some pretty creative people in this thread. Well done!

perdition · 07-14-2010, 02:03 PM

is there a website I can get free scans of the actual blu-ray cover?

bpmford · 07-14-2010, 02:50 PM

There are some great sites that have tons of scans, but they aren't free... and the ones that are free are low quality. Scanning is actually a hard thing to do for covers, there is a lot of process that need to be done to clean up the scan and make it worthy for re-print. hence why they are usually on the subscription-based sites.

For me, I check both regularly, but I do agree that it sometimes doesn't highlight new posts, which makes me miss it sometimes!

This thread will always exist, and may well be the place for chatter...

I think people post their requests and questions here because of the issue with the group messages not showing up as new. I'm sure some stuff has gotten missed!

Well it's a very fantastic 1st effort dude. LOVE it. Fantastic movie and I think you did a great job representing it. It's kind of classy/simple and not so "processed" as the typical BD tends to be. I like that the text/print is just sort of "there" on the back... no huge boxes etc... that can/does look great for certain films but this almost comes off as an LP Jacket or something. Really fits the mood. Keep 'em comin!

Thanks for the compliments, I am happy that people enjoyed the cover. And I will definitely make more, which I am doing right now for my collection, but if someone has requests that would be nice since I only have a few more that I want to make!
