I'm not that creative, but I'm working on a home movie for sending to family and thought it would be fun to send it with a custom cover! I can then replace the images with my own, the text, and so on. No commercial use, no sharing, etc... just printing copies to send to family once I'm modified it. I have tried a couple of times but they just look really cheesy and fake (I suck with photoshop). Nothing NEAR the quality I see here.

Just asking... if that's taboo or too much to ask then my apologies and I'll keep trying of just print a photo on the cover and call it good.

edit: wow, just read the last few pages and sorry for asking this... forget I asked!

on another similar note, here's a more original cover of mine based off a poster i created (although a little inspired by olly, he is one of my favourite designers)

That looks fantastic. BTW, I apologize for my rant and uninstigated criticism. I realize that it was unwarranted.

Soon as I get around to it, which is probably never, I'd make alot of customs using the original poster artwork and retrofitting the covers to be in line with each studio retail release. Sans the blurbs but keeping the UPC.
Retro retail.

Thanks!

Anyone have a scan of True Blood Season 2?

swarez · 12-20-2010, 09:42 AM

Agree.

A few things on your LOTR stand out to me.

1) The spine logo appears to be warped--the "o" on Lord seems to show this most clearly. Did you keep the height/width ratio constant when you resized?

2) I'm not sure you need to include "LORD OF THE RINGS" 3 times on the back; why not just each movie's title? Fellowship/Two Towers/ Return of the King?

3) Why do you want the "academy awards" blurb on the front? Is this to replicate some cover I'm not aware of?

Hey dv8pdx, I sent you a PM not too long ago.
Did you ever get it?

Has anyone made a Futurama Vol 5 cover?

Wow! Love the retrospect looks of the covers. I loved The Empire Strikes Back cover the best.

Here's a cover I did for "The Shining".
I thought the official release's cover was OK but I felt like making my own

Glad everyone is starting to post customs again, great custom work brings me more enjoyment than reading a thread full of drama. Especially when I had 10 thread pages to catch up on. Thanks for getting back to entertaining me

... I know you all live for it.

Does anyone know when do I get to be a blu-ray guru or get some stars under my name? I see some people with all that bling/flair (choose another word if you wish) and wonder why I don't have any.

the title under your name has to do with post count usually. the stars come from reviewing movies and such i think

Rusty100 · 12-21-2010, 12:11 PM

How'd I get my star? Haven't really done jack.

That's pretty good work there. I love the white backdrop that you used.
