On the back, flipped the tagline and images on the top to match those on the bottom. The font for the copy text is, for now, temporary until I find something that works for what I'm going for* (font recommendations appreciated). The text itself comes from a 1980s VHS release.

Along the bottom I plan on adding the standard row of symbols from the WB template.

*What I'm going for is a layout loosely emulating aesthetics from the early VHS era. My main concern is avoiding something which looks amateurish or hastily thrown together.

Anyway, feedback is of course welcomed.

I really, really, really like this! Love the throwback here. But if I were to edit just one thing, I'd call it 'Special Features' and not 'List of..'.

Otherwise, it's really something old school which I dig!

I'm with you. A list is a list without the need to call it a list. Once you make a list it's a list. It's a nice cover anyway...

Thanks guys, it's been fixed. I think I had "Special Features" initially but changed it for whatever reason. I don't know, you make dumb decisions when it's late.

Ok I know this is a long shot but anyone have scans of the Twilight Time covers for Journey to the Center of the Earth and The Mysterious Island? I wanna but DVD copies in a blu-ray case as a place holder until I can get the blu-ray's cheaper than $100

Aspect54 · 03-12-2013, 04:11 AM

Anyone have a set of individual Nightmare on Elm Street covers for the collection. A friend has not the need to save space and wants to break up the collection to individual cases.

Nissen did covers for the 3 double feature disc for me. There are a few covers for part 1 floating around also

Current stage of the Von Ryan's Express WIP:

I'm really hoping 633 Squadron gets announced at some stage because I want to work the cover with this poster (yes, I have a nice high res version):

Guydowood · 03-12-2013, 01:57 PM

I must say again how impressive this WWII collection is coming along. Also that with some of the titles you have created customs for I would not normally buy outright, but seeing how much more "life" these old one sheets bring to the package, I've been adding them to my collection! Oh and you do plan to do one for A Bridge too Far correct?

Yes, it's on the list

Hubunkey · 03-12-2013, 03:13 PM

I personally don't use them but that WWII Collection is pretty awesome. Any collection that utilizes the original poster art is great in my book

UUUUGGGGHHHH · 03-12-2013, 10:27 PM

Guys, I am looking for high-quality cover scans for a few movies. I found some on EuphoricFX but the quality was actually quite poor, unfortunately, and I don't see most of them on Customaniacs. Any help would really be appreciated.

I'm looking for:

- 12 Monkeys
- Children of Men
- Eastern Promises
- Frost/Nixon
- I Am Legend

Ideally I want "I Am Legend" with the back customized to include all of the specs from the Ultimate Collector's Edition, but I don't know if anybody wants to take on that task.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'll look around tonight and see if I can find any of them for ya, and you want straight up scans for these. not customs?

Yes, please. Retail scans for sure.

I wouldn't mind a custom for "I Am Legend" though if the back looked professional and included all of the specs for the Ultimate Collector's Edition, since I think I'm creating my own front for this anyway (I want to use it to make a slipcover for my SteelBook, which I have customized with the UCE discs.)

Thanks in advance, my friend!

"Von Ryan's Express" is up on EFX and Customaniacs.

I like the French poster art for "A Bridge Too Far":
