I love what you're doing with your covers. The simple wrap-around images really make them standout. This one is a perfect example of how well the theme works because it's a beautiful cover for a terrible movie.

Keep it up! I can't wait to see what you do next.

Here's something I've been working on lately, as a concept for the "Star Wars" films. All I have so far is the clouds and spines; do you think its worth pursuing?

Yes.

It looks great so far.

Excellent so far.
But... how come we all end up with blue for the OT and red for the PT? In my case it was dictated by the use of the Struzan posters and the fact that I didn't want black. What are you using for the fronts?

Well, I chose those two colors because they are the most prominent lightsaber hues. As for the fronts, I haven't decided yet; I just know I want to do something a little different.

Thanks Matt, I really appreciate it!

I was working a "Under Siege" double feature until I was provided a ready-made one. But this is as far as I got:

What are the dimensions of a 2 disc vortex case?

G:Box · 10-12-2011, 01:37 AM

I'm not a pro like most guys here, but I played around on PS and came up with this,
what do you think?

I like the use of the divider on the front--don't know if that's original poster art or your contribution--and the "square" font you've chosen (some variant on Bank Gothic?) complements that.

But between that, the title font, the synopsis font, and then the credits block, there are 4 fonts. Gets a bit busy? Dunno.

Also, do you use Universal Accreditation? It's better than Steel Tongs, in my opinion, for the credits.

Thanks! I will use your advice!

Thanks for the font, I had googled around and came up empty, but I just downloaded the font and will work on it.

I agree on different fonts. What do you recommend?

3210 (1540 + 130 + 1540) x 1760 pixels. This size also works for a single-disc Vortex case.

I love Universal Accreditation.

I use it for all my credits and even as part of titles as people probably noticed on my Star Wars and Keira Knightley covers.

Moviefan2k4 · 10-12-2011, 02:45 AM

I prefer to make my own credit blocks; it takes longer, but the results are much better in the long run.

DrrnHarr · 10-12-2011, 10:40 AM

I decided to continue through tio completion on this cover. There's still a way to go.

bigrob · 10-12-2011, 12:29 PM
