Cheers!

You have to send a PM to bartlettphoto or dv8pdx, whomever's you wish to acquire. I believe both do requests via PM instead of posting direct access links these days.

Here's the link to my high-res version.

do you charge for them (or does the site charge for membership?)
i can't really respect that if it's the case
custom covers should be free
i give out all my stuff for free

I am sure that some of the sites give you credits for doing customs that get downloaded which allow you to get others customs.

He used to give his away for free here (along with many other artists) but then there were multiple scandals of his artwork (and others art) being "stolen" and posted on various custom sites with the thieves claiming to be the designers and thus receiving credit for the cover when people downloaded them. Anyway, several artists chose to stop posting here because of the scandals.

I respect people's right to protect their artwork in any way they deem necessary. It is their artwork and their name at risk/ridicule. I would advise you to respect other's rights as we respect your right to give your artwork away in the way you choose to.

yea it seems like ages since bpm's been around and dv8 what websites are you using now???

[MerrickG]

Is there anyone who has made custom individual covers for the Alien Anthology.

I seem to recall seeing a link, but I cant find it anywhere?

[GregBe]

Does anyone have either custom or scanned covers for the three individual Bourne movies. I have the Canadian version, which has French along the spine, and would love to get the US version. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Greg

I really would like to have individual cases for each film. Thanks.

I was concerned with the resolution of the artwork I suggested for the front of the cover. There seems to be some squiggly-stuff around the lettering, etc. I assume this is due to some deficiency in the resolution of the jpeg?

then you should also respect my opinion to not respect charging for them, just as i respect your opinion to respect charging for them. damn that's getting confusing.
it all goes both ways

Well, I decided to take a crack at a Toy Story Trilogy cover. Eh... I can live with it, buy my meager Photoshop skills limit what I can do.

example of someone who's photoshop skills are lacking, but still has a good general sense of design
props
just wanted to point out that there is a difference between someone with hope, and someone with no hope (this guy being a guy with hope)

I actually love this, but out of curiosity, how much of the back did you do, as you mention meager Photoshop skills, but I think it looks great. You just need a bit of touch up on the edges of Mr & Mrs Potato Head on the front cover and maybe a higher resolution picture of Rex. Also on the spine, a touch around the edges (or a higher resolution) of the blu-ray logo, and the same to the films logo. I'm guessing you're getting the characters from the trilogy album released with the third film, but if you can't find a high res pic for Rex on that album, might I suggest using a picture from the films marketing scheme and just crop it to the corner? Something like this: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Illus..._1280x1024.jpg,flip it around shrink it to the corner and there you go.

On a non technical note, is there anyway to make it read 'Toy Story Trilogy' over 'Toy Story 3 Pack'. I think that would make it look better, as it'll look more rounded off than just 3-pack. Also I don't know if Lotso really works on the cover, since he was only in one film. I don't know if their is any other characters you could put on suitably though, maybe the soldiers?

All in all though I still love this cover, I think the back works great (though maybe choose a different picture for Toy Story 2), the simplicity of the front is great and you should keep at it. The second paragraph of ideas was mainly just opinion however, if you think the cover works better like this then who am I to tell you otherwise.
