Touche, good sir, touche.

If I ever get my printer up and going (it was busted out of the box and now it's out of warranty because Kodak wouldn't replace it, they just sent me a new printhead and it STILL doesn't print..

anyway, if I ever get it up and going, I will definitely be using it. It looks fantastic.

Custom cases for my National Geographic collection. Each is designed for a 21mm spine 6 disc case. Will likely make more down the road. Hoping to find a cool case or chest of some sort to store all of the 6 disc cases.

Any ideas for something for the back? I want to premake all of these, so I wont know all of the titles that will go in each boxed set yet.

Thank you for the rest of the compliment... I think

Ahh, seeing this close-up clears something up for me. I thought you had the letter "A" in Leo's last name in there twice, but I see it's the peak of a building with the window in just the right spot and right in line with your text to make it look like an "A". You might take a look at that positioning and see if it bothers you at all.

As for the title being somewhat missing/behind/too dark, it bothered me for all of 1/2 a second, then I got over myself - it looks fine

My newest cover ... tried to do something different for this!

May have a few last tweaks to do, but otherwise finished

Same rules apply!

Inception

Amazing cover!

backslashio · 07-30-2010, 12:39 PM

Very nice Inception cover

I like the dark tones

I finished my Patlabor DVD (non-blu-ray-hope-its-okay) boxset covers today:

The backcovers look a little bland but I like them that way. Might try to fix up the text alignment though

BluLobsta · 07-30-2010, 01:28 PM

Wow these look so nice! So nice that I myself would like to start creating my own custom cover art

What resources do you suggest, such as essential software, where to get the photos and art, copyright protections, etc.? Thanks!

I'm using a combination of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 for the image alone & then used CoverPro to make 3D templates. I usually find the images from google searches but for the covers I grabbed some fan arts off DeviantArt (I asked nicely tho :P)

For the logos like blu-ray templates google for *.psd formats or ask some people on here to give you a download link

JediFonger · 07-30-2010, 01:50 PM

do we have covers for maltese falcon and sierra yet? those ones coming out from WB are horrible.

OK thanks

I only have 5 days left on my Adobe CS5 Master trial so that wouldn't be practical and $2600 is

. I downloaded open-source Scribus and GIMP for now and then I can swing over to school if I need Adobe stuff. Stay tuned....

With Adobe Elements (~$100) you get almost all the CS features you'll ever need for photoshopping stuff as long as you don't need it for 3D work & stylising stuff to a certain degree

CS5 is great but only if you can afford it/use the school

ok that's much more cost-effective, I'll check it out...

Changed up the cover a bit, dropped the movie credit info on the back to simplify it further. Had to incorporate some new elements since some of the other centenary covers have art that gets cut off on the sides.

Hey, BigDumbWookiee! Where can I find these covers??? I was seven months looking for it, but failed. I wrote to you and the PM on this site and Flickr, but received no reply. Answer please! They are very necessary to me.

alexpeters · 07-30-2010, 06:46 PM

I love all these Inception covers. Nice job bpmford. I don't know which one I am going to actually use, I've seen a lot and they all look great.

alexpeters · 07-30-2010, 09:51 PM

I might take down the links to my covers because I found a few of them uploaded to another cover site today. So if I do and you want a cover just PM me I guess.
