Agreed. Great covers otherwise, though.

Good call on the red cases for the Twilight covers dv8!

Anyone know of any custom covers for The Skin I Live In? I like the UK cover, but the US one is pretty bad.

Agreed. I leave all that crap out of my custom covers. I'll usually only include the bluray disc logo, mpaa rating and aspect ratio.

Everybody's opinions are fine, custom means "custom" to each.

I live by the idea that simplicity is an art form.

I do it simply like Illest said, to make it as authentic looking as possible often including the bar code that is scannable for that actual movie (many people don't do this anymore) but this is the way custom covers were when I started years ago and guess Im still old school. I want someone to pick up my cover and think I found some special edition or limited edition the general public couldn't get. Guess you could say, I make my covers to "mimic" a real product. Just like I do for some small studios I work for when making fake soda's, food product containers, magazines and movie posters for backgrounds. Its just ment to fool the eye that its more real than custom to the average person.

How does one submit art for fake criterion?

I made custom covers for Lost. This is what the spanning spine looks like.

Love the title spanning all the discs, but why is the 3 so much larger than the other numbers?

[vidjunkie]

So could someone please, and I mean please, make an alternate cover for Halloween II? I have both the corrected and non corrected but the artwork is exactly the same, I would like to have something different for my corrected version especially showing the new audio track, which is DTS-HD MA 5.1 now instead of the regular DTS 5.1.

Thanks

That is ****ing awesome. I do agree with retablo though about the numbers. I'm not sure why you didn't just keep the same size font as numbers 1 and 2 all the way across.

I didn't mean for the three to be bigger something went goofy with my layer when i went to print it off. This has happened before with another one of my cases where when I went to print it off it changed one of my layers. I'm working on fixing it. Thanks for the likes though

Dazed and Confused - Looking for a cover (prefer scan but custom would work) that would fit in a single disc criterion case

The Pacific - Looking for a cover for a 6 Disc Viva Elite case. I have one for a Vortex case. If someone would be willing to edit the file for an Elite that would be great!

True Blood Seasons 1-3 - Looking for covers for 6 disc Viva Elite cases. I have covers for Vortex cases. If someone would be willing to edit the files for Elites that would be great!

Planet Earth Special Edition - Looking for a scan of the new release special edition for a 6 disc Viva Elite.

Isn't it just a matter of changing the spine size? I can send you a blank Viva Elite 6-disc Photoshop template if you need it.

Quick note: I did not design the artwork. Simply put everything together. But did NOT design the art.

[bpmford]

Hey all!

Here are my two latest designs.

Same rules apply.

I notice I am behind on PMs, so if you have sent me one and have yet to receive a reply, I will be getting to them shortly!
