Just found this site yesterday. What a great resource for downsizing some of these sets into standard cases. Especially, for a graphically challenged.

I just ordered the Alien set from the UK. I have some 2-disk BR cases sitting around I plan to move them to. If you happen to do a set for three 2-disk cases that would be great. Otherwise, what you have will still work for my needs. Great work.

Still hoping to get access to "Planet of the Apes" (POTA) individual cover designs to replace the oversized book set I just got.

This 6-disc cover for Alien boxset will be perfect. Many thanks for creating it. I have an empty 6-disc 22.. case ready to go!

Is there a download link I can click on?

Excellent work! Can't wait for the final version!

Edit - Looks like you forgot to remove the "volume 1" from the front

Fixed that & a few other tweaks (may have to refresh your view a couple times).

smithb: I can make 3 x 2-BD cases as well. And I made a set of single PotA cases, I'll PM some links!

Rusty100 · 10-26-2010, 10:19 PM

I think I'd rather one case per Alien film, instead of two 3 disc sets.
I've ordered the Egg edition, but it would be nice to have them individually too. Might work on some covers for each, probably with original poster art.

Looks good, id say cut "volume 1" since its 1 case, just a thought

DreamScar · 10-27-2010, 12:30 AM

He already fixed that. If you refresh your page the fixed version will show up. My only critique is with using the same pic for the spine and the front cover. Certainly not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to have something else/no pic on the spine.

Yeah, I'm guilty of that a lot! Maybe an Alien egg? Face hugger? Weyland-Yutani logo?

Rusty, I'm sure you can work some magic with the individual films! I was thinking of using the original ALIEN poster, which I love. I was a few years too young to see the first film (though I had that awesome original Alien toy), and there was always something so mysterious about that egg poster.

But the printers at my work are getting old & do not handle solids well. One of the reasons I put a lot of texture in my customs - hides all the imperfections!

Rusty100 · 10-27-2010, 02:10 AM

thoughts on this style? alterations? better ideas?

Agree, but where is Resurrection?

haven't done it yet, there really aren't very many images to use for it, the main cover/poster art has the movie title embedded in it, which makes it very hard to separate the image from the title
i'll try to find an alternate image for the cover, if anyone else has any ideas for the resurrection cover that would be great

I thought you were just pretending it didn't exist. But yeah, it's tough. The original is just floating-heads and a flare. Other images...awful clones, that final, hideous hybrid? I did like the swimming Aliens, even though they were very early CG.

might just try to use an image of a warrior alien
or one that looks enough like one that people won't question it's use on the cover

how about this

what do you think of the inclusion of the faint weyland logo behind the title?

Looks good, especially in the sequence of covers - it's the only Alien.

HanaBi , just a public thanks again to go along with the PM.

I'm obviously brand new to this forum and only found it by chance after doing some searches regarding a particular set of Blu-ray covers I needed. I know what I am about to say has probably been stated many times before. but I am amazed by the work I am seeing and the generosity of those freely sharing their time and talents to those of us that are "artistically challenged" like myself. Very much appreciated.
