Custom Cover Art Thread

[DrrnHarr]

Speaking of "The Hunger Gamers" my custom Blu-ray cover has become my most uploaded cover on Customaniacs. Which is rather stranger considering that I threw it together in a couple of hours but other titles I have worked days on hardly ever get noticed.

By the way Imrahil I have spent the day playing with Content Aware Fill and Content Aware Move with my CS6 and I am officially a believer. I was impressed with Content Aware Fill, but when I started using Content Aware Move I was blown away.

About a month ago I was trying to clone out the Great White Shark on the "Jaws" poster and to get it just right I spent almost an hour on it tinkering and readjusting it. This morning I came up with the same result using the Content Aware technology in about 10 seconds.

You can check out their site at http://www.hazidigi.blogspot.com


Great looking covers runners!

Thanks for the answer. Now all I gotta do is figure out how to get in contact with them.

Hi Seth,

I think they removed their contact link on their site. If I hear back from Zoltan, I'll let you know if they're still making them.

[SethRex]

Alright, thanks.

Just a tad too cramped on the front top, there.

Try cutting up the tagline and spreading it over two lines only, to give you some more breathing room around the edge.

I'm glad to see you're keeping all the text and bits from the original poster. Gives it that authentic vintage feel.

Here is the completed and finished version of "Where eagles dare".

You know me, I have not made any modification on the cover I never do that I want it to be what it was released like, so no changes, but I see your point.

If only I had any skills in this department. I would love to have a specifically designed Tony Scott collection series, those Disney covers with the big blue edges annoy me. Be great to have them all alongside one another in a uniform kind of way.

The back cover looks great, however I do think Nissen is right about the front - ie it is too cramped. I know that's the original poster but I don't think there would be anything wrong with putting that tagline over two lines.

I'm also not a fan of Warners spine layout with that vertical Blu-ray logo. Since this movie was originally released by MGM I have always used an MGM style spine for this movie. As it is the composition makes no sense because your front poster says the movie is an MGM release, but you have a Warner spine.

So I'm not just blowing smoke - here's a quick mock-up to demonstrate that even knocking the tagline down to 2 lines the poster still retains that classic feel:



Here it is in 3D (using the back cover I made for my custom)

Honestly, I have never sat through this. Might have to find myself a copy and 3 hours of quiet time.

I would lose the middle tag line and the metro Goldwyn Mayer presents line. Will look a lot cleaner.

Tried multiple replacements for my current POTC slipcovers, but i think i finally have a design i'd like to go with, either for the slipcover or the inner artwork on the case itself.

I'm really impressed by the James Bond series made by Nissen, but since they are commissioned work, and we can't get them, I started making my version with a similar concept (the brushed steel ribbons on top/bottom and the cool looking spine!).

Those are my first Blu-ray Custom Covers and I truly hope they are not regarded as "rip-off" since I put a lot of time, work and a touch of my own style into them. Let's say I used Nissen's version as an inspiration but I can removed them if members here think a violated a copyright...

Here is a preview:

I like them except for the top and bottom cover bars. I think I'd like them better if they were straight across like the back. Love that Goldfinger artwork, never seen that. Could I request a high-res file of that Goldfinger cover?

Very good Sir! I like the fact that you are using different covers of many versions of each film that had multiple one sheets over the years. Can't wait to see what you do for the entire series.......

I gotta agree, Goldfinger looks awesome
