Not to be overly nitpicky but this art is from Alien vs Predator so it's not the same design as in Resurrection. Most people would probably not care but for me personally this would bother me.

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

Rusty100 · 11-01-2010, 03:40 PM

Do you guys just print on regular 8x11 paper for these covers.. or do you use special paper?

Love that THING art, and I like how you updated it!

skullman80, I think most people recommend a slightly heavier stock with a semi-gloss finish. (I use work printer

, though that's increasingly poor quality). But 8 1/2 x 11" should work for most BD covers, printed at 100%.

I like the images used in your latest "simple series". They are all easily identifiable. I am not sold on the simplified/blank back but the fronts look nice.

What about the dimension settings for printing the images? This is something I can never get right and yet can never get answered.

3118x1748 is probably the most common size ppl use for single/double case

Yeah I kept it truer to the original artwork, and added the THING logo that I preferred over the big blocky one.
And then obviously ravaged it a bit.

Hey Rusty, I love the front and the spine. The back is coming along great, but with the fullness of the front and spine, I would love to see more going on in the black you have in the upper part of the back.

I agree. I'd like to see more pictures from the back. Otherwise, great work.

Alternatively, you could matte two silhouettes together, and do the "inner" one the same color as the background.

Also still think they could be a bit bigger.

These silhouette covers look great! Agree front shapes could be a tad bigger, and maybe a secondary, smaller spot on the back? But super work, really sharp, hempo22.

Somebody got a download link for 3 custom covers for Back to the Future ???

Cheers!

JoshKelhoffer · 11-03-2010, 02:31 PM

I'm curious to see if they are any more options for the Alien Anthology. A 6 Disc cover to be precise.

HiI'mBrian · 11-03-2010, 03:51 PM

Anyone by chance doing a Toy Story trilogy cover?

I was thinking of putting all three movies in the 4-disk case from TS3. Anyone else planning this as well?

That is exactly what I did, too. Sold off DVD and Digital Copy from TS3 4-disc release, which made the ToysRUs deal even better...

Before I start on a custom myself, thought I'd check to see if anyone had already created one. Would like the front to use this artwork:
