Great site by the way. Registration at the site and subscription fee required to download covers there. Well worth the price of admission.

You're welcome. That site has a whole slew of customs for the Pirates films, both the individual films and as a set.

Some of the text is too close to the edges and it'd be better if the graphics were allowed some more room to breathe.

Ive really loved all the custom criterion covers made by runnersdialzero and others here, but I have a problem. I had planned on pritning in photoshop so I can set custom dimensions, but I cant find any dimensions for the cases. Does anyone know what the dimensions of a criterion blu ray case are in inches?

[runnersdialzero]

I don't know about inches but it's 3240 x 1894 in megapixels. I think megapixels. :/

So how do you usually print your own covers, runnersdialzero? Would photoshop work well enough?

Retail-worthy? Decided to go simple with the poster art.

Dude That is awesome !

Photoshop is probably overkill. When I'm done editing them, they are already the correct size. I then use my windows photo viewer to open the image and then click print. Make sure you print it in landscape. That's all I do. Then cut off the white edges.

Yeah, I thought the same about the text. I'll touch that up a bit.


Also, for those interested in the film, I'm thinking about using one of these artworks for the cover for Moonrise Kingdom. Thoughts on which I should use?

But fear not, I have plenty of Bonds on my books.

The front is the official Bond 50 poster, but I added all the flair to the background to liven it up a bit and to differentiate it from Drrnharr's cover which used the same poster.

Where can I go to print this?

Love it, but I will ask. Is it possible to increase the size and drop Dredd down around his helmet. Might make it pop even more. Hope that's clear, as it is hard to describe over the internet without visual aids.

I love Adrian Tomine's work!

[Black Sabbath]

I was thinking about that one as well.

I would use that one as well (it fits in nicely with the other anderson cover designs).

The Gear poster would look really good as inside cover art.

I hope some artists over here will do some covers for the Norris movies and the Van Damme movies @ MGM

... because the ones MGM used are ugly!

We need original artworks!!!

Started Moonrise. The text and everything besides the main picture and "Criterion boxes" are just rough and won't be final: http://i50.tinypic.com/jg3a0i.png
