They are definately showing improvment. I would however recommend breaking up the UK Quad for "For Your Eyes Only" into pieces and then reassembling. That will allow you to include more of the graphic. To show you what I mean here is my "For Your Eyes Only" cover:

I am also interested in what you are planning for your back covers.

I like your "A View to a Kill" cover plan very much, I'd be interested to see a completed one. The Golden Gate behind MayDay and 007 is very effective. I used the Arabic poster for mine:

For "Octo*****" I think you might be better sticking with the original artwork for that? But then I can't really talk because my "Octo*****" cover is very busy:

Ha Ha. The Arabic poster. I lived in Qatar in the 80's, and here's the Arabic cassette (remember those) released at the time (An "original" release, as they all were at the time).

See how they "improved" the poster?

Yikes. I don't like what they did with that cassette cover at all.

I found the poster listed at that resource that I mentioned to you that was of a higher resolution than the high res version I had been using for my AVTAK custom. It listed the poster as the Arabic version. I quite like the way the poster marries the two other posters together though it does suggest that they didn't know which one to choose.

If I had to pick one I would go for Bond and Stacey on the Golden Gate bridge, but I need a white background somewhere on my custom 007 series so the double poster works well for that.

My covers are in the queue at Fake Criterion.

Inbetween redoing my James Bond 007 covers I also revisited the first custom cover I ever did. I only need to change the studio:

Love this. So much nostalgia in this one.

DrrnHarr · 12-05-2011, 10:01 PM

Thanks JimJimmyJones85. I did have to correct the studio however which offered me the opportunity to use a Universal image similar to the Earth that appears at the beginning of the movie. It also appears to be another planet among a sea of stars on the spine. Here's how it is:

Also re-worked my "Force 10 From Navarone":

Here are some more Bond 007 covers reworked:

That's very high praise my friend, I thank you for your kind words

Anyone seen a custom Fast Five cover that has the Roman numeral V on the spine to match the other releases?

Does anyone know where i can find cover art for the Lion King 1 1/2 and Lion King 2 Simba's Pride?

Yes I'd like to see covers for these also. I don't think the official covers are out yet since these were only included in that big drum shaped trilogy box.

Hi ctaulbee - it's good to see you here!

"High Road to China" with an Indy font:

"The Spy Who Loved Me" redux:

A blanket apology to those who requested the 3D cover preview actn file. Sorry it took so long to get back to you but I was not monitoring my e-mail as closely due to a very hectic weekend. I hope you enjoy using the actn file, it certanly adds something to the presentation of covers I think!

DrrnHarr · 12-07-2011, 03:50 PM

I reworked a title that I had already done work on, I'd be interested in hearing comments/suggestions:

I added a deeper drop shadow to more closely resemble Indy.

Hi Drrn,

I lurk about here quite a bit, just don't really have the time to post and follow up, so I stick to the shadows for the most part.

Lol. That's hilarious. Surprised that they didn't cover up the forearms too.

I love it. The only thing I may think of doing is maybe cascading the movie title a bit across three lines if you think it would work.

I got bored and decided to make an 20th Cen. Fox Anna Faris Collection.
The only FOX movie I didn't include was Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.

Nissen · 12-10-2011, 12:14 PM

Okay, I admit it was made on a lark, but I couldn't resist.
