Customaniacs is another good site for tutorials and assets such as title treatments and logos.

I like the red the best. If you decide you to keep the Blu-ray logo on the top, I would shrink it so that it can be more or less even between the top and bottom of the border. That's how Disney does it, and it looks like that's the style you're going for. Check out The Avengers front covers or some of Disney's other titles to see what I mean.

Awesome slipcover! Truly worthy of the Iron Avenger!

I'm working on this template for the first two Spider-Man films:

Really great artwork here! I'm looking for the artwork for the Harry Potter Years 1-5 blu ray slipbox (slim). I think the discs are housed in one 5 disc case with the extras housed in a second blu ray case. I would need the artwork for both & printed plus trimmed to fit the cases.
Can anyone help me?
I would pay fair market value for time, materials, and shipping (with DC#)... Please PM me!

Why are you using the old Sony design?

To match the old release of SM3 I have.... Here's my progress so far for the first film:

[spanky87]

Not much of a custom artwork, but I have the italian Funny Face blu-ray and made an English cover resizing and cropping the centennial dvd. Reworked the back.





Did a custom cover for the Birds using promo shots.

I asked earlier but apparently no one cared!

[Drewbee87]

I've never printed anything like this out before, are you supposed to use semi-gloss paper?

I'm not being passive-aggressive about anything. I just asked a couple months back if anyone had any links available. I have been to the cover sites and I'm unimpressed with what I could find or I was having issues finding what I was looking for.

People have come in and asked for links before and people have been accommodating. It's not out of the realm of possibility that someone would reply to link requests.

But you were when you made the comment about no one caring to answer your request.

I was letting the poster above me know that no one cared when I asked, so don't expect to hear a reply. I didn't intend to be passive-aggressive.

I apologize if it came across any other way.

I also did do a search for Gremlins covers and saw some WIP stuff but nothing linked to a printable copy or anything finished.

Not me. Sorry.

Now, if everyone who doesn't have one to share would care to post...





I've said it before, when noone responds that usually means you're SOOL. But as happens quite often, people do respond and offer to share if they have anything.

I don't mind people asking, but please understand that a lack of response is not intended as a sleight or insult.

P.S. Not singling you out here, Bmokm, just using your post as an example.

Thanks, farzam.

Not to stir this too far off topic, but I think it shows poor form when no one says anything or isn't helpful in pointing folks in the right direction. As someone who was a new member once and stumbled across this thread too, I had no idea until some of you pointed this out that this wasn't here to help members looking for custom covers. I realize this is a BD site, but you guys are making(phenomenal) custom covers. So why jump down folks throats when they ask if anyone has made "fill in the blank" cover. It just feels counter productive and I'm tired of seeing folks apologize for asking a simple question or worse, have their questions go unanswered. Let's remember, we were all new members once.

I didn't realize the King of Queens was in Blu-Ray. That's cool. Let me know how it is please?

So I'm gonna jump in with my 2 cents here... I've been in the Custom Covers forums here since they started back in 2008, and for as long as I've been in here and doing custom covers, most of the artist will share links IF they have them to share. Some designers wont share with someone who is brand new or has no posts, simply for fear of having what they share thrown up on other Cover Sites. But there are those that will. Asking for something and getting no response usually means that no one has it. And with the 1,000's of readers of this forum, and the tons of artists here, this thread would be flooded with "Nope" "Sorry I don't have one" "Can't help you" etc with each request. And thats not what most people are here to read. So if you get no reply, don't feel its rude, its just means its not available from most artists here. Trust me, most of the designers read this forum daily, so your request wasn't missed, just no one has it. And like it was said before, most of the gang here isn't here to "guide" people to other custom cover sites that might have it, new readers should read back a little and see there are pleanty of links to guide them in the right direction. Also, if you see a WIP (work in progess) of something your looking for, but no final design posted. Shoot the OP a PM, maybe they did finish it but never got it posted.
So... if you get a no response, don't take offense, just be understanding that its probably not available here. We are listening, we just don't want to flood the forum with no's.


Now, I need to get back to my PM's, I've been traveling for a while and you guys have been hungry!! I'll reply to all as soon as I can get caught up. Thanks for all the requests. Im flattered! And heres a few WIP that I plan to finish this weekend.

Thought the game of thrones cover was boring and commercially generic, so I used the cover of the new inside the game of thrones book with some altering to create these "books" for GOT. Also did a temp place holder for Season 3 that starts in March. I'll finish that up as soon as I see a few episodes.
