Anybody know where I can get a cover for the first 3 Twilight movies? I just picked them up for my wife during the blockbuster sale and wanted to put them in one case to save space. Thanks for your help!

Just a nit:

The US release will almost certainly be DTS-MA, either remixed for 5.1 or 1.0 Mono. The French track will be lossy since I can't think of one Warner title that has more than 1 lossless track except Superman Returns and 300 (Dolby TrueHD and PCM), and even then they weren't for dubs. Sony AFIK is the only studio that does this regularly.

Tough to do these "ahead of time", hard to predict the future where BD releases are concerned.

(Sorry to nitpick: for me to replace a cover the specs have to be accurate, otherwise nice work as always)

this wasn't really a "US Release" cover, but more of a English version to the French release so I kept the same mono specs. I can always update it if this ever gets a US release

Ive seen 8 disc cases but I haven't found a place to order them. I myself will probably never use this cover since Im not a fan of box sets. So I haven't really tested the size on this one. I was just goofing around with this cover.

I'm really shocked by this Rogers guy

DV8 always do a terrific job, and has a great attitude dealing with you without showing he's pissed off by your manners, and without being rude.

That would be great if you could go away from this thread if you don't have anything intreresting to say or ask.

Really... is this guy serious?

Where does he come from?
What DV8 did to him??

It seems I won't sleep tonight... too many questions

bpmford · 05-31-2011, 01:41 AM

He's not the first troublemaker just trying to get attention...

The best course her is to probably just ignore him and not give him that satisfaction.

Are the 4-Disc Vortex cases thicker than Viva? What about custom multi-disc sets for each film using Vortex since the first two don't carry over any extras from the DVDs sans trailers.

I'm pretty sure there is but it shouldn't be that much of a difference unless someone here can provide some examples. I could do that later on but for now I'm focusing on redesigning/converting box-sets that don't come in regular Blu-ray cases.

So the one you designed would fit in the slipcover or a replacement? Looks nice but if it were me I'd add a space to add the UPC. Well if people have seperate UPCs for the title they could add it later.

Oh, I'm quite on topic thank you!

Personally tho, I'd rather make a cover from scratch using other materials rather than based off of a poster, it gives me more of a challenge...

although, the work dv8 did must have been difficult in itself, so I give him top props for it.

It will fit a 4-6 disc Viva Elite case

I bet one of the most difficult thing to do for cover art is to find the fonts. Especially if one wants to recreate the same ones used for the film in question. If it isn't too derivative (spelling off) of the title.
If it were me I wouldn't've used the same font for the BATMAN Anthology for DARK CITY - Director's Cut. I would've chosen the original fonts for these films but kept the same design for the covers. One USA cover I don't like but I do like the UK one, which the latter uses more the film poster, is RED HEAT.
THEN there're the ones where it's very mediocre photoshop. More of the actual from the studios compared to fan work.

Just wanted to say that both you and dv8 do wonderful work. I usually try to discuss covers only at the dedicated cover sites. Lots of people over here don't know the work that goes into making these covers. keep up the good work all you artists!

bpmford · 05-31-2011, 03:29 PM

Thanks cowboy, I appreciate that...

I agree as a designer myself, that a ton of work goes into custom covers, and so I really have learned to appreciate every artist, no matter the skill level and style... Keep it up everyone!

Man, its been awhile since I've been in here... I don't like this arguing stuff... ugh... How bout I just say thanks to all of the custom artists who post their work in here when they don't have to. Its very enjoyable for those of us that do not have your talent to look at, and use when you are so kind...
