I would never have bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 at its commercial price, which I think is about $3,000, but I was able to pick it up with my student discount (+ an additional discount deal my school worked out with Adobe) for $200.

I just had to have Acrobat Pro, InDesign and Illustrator since I use those programs too.

I didn't understand any of that

Not enough pictures

It maybe don't have all the new filters but ps 7.0 is in my mind the best adobe release.

Was there ever any question. I was just waiting on the special features:



But I'll produce one for those who just want a stand-alone:

[Xtempo]

could some one do the Futurama BD covers for volumes 5-7?

Great work. The TT on the stand alone looks much better, The red text with the barbed wire is super hard to read on the WWII collection version, IMO.

Well I am open to suggestions regarding the color of the TT. Ths barbed wire background and the lettering are on different layers so its an easy fix.

Just simply amazing Drrn!!! Thank you so much!

I Know it's not a priority for you but there are quite a few of us that simply hate "Digi Books" and toss them in a box once there is beautiful cover art to replace them. I hope you reconsider in the future adding Bridge on the River Kwai to your wonderful collection. Original Poster art like this would be awesome!

I'll be putting this up on CustoManiacs or you can PM me for a copy.

I can't look at this cover without seeing this instead.

Here's my Phantom of the Paradise cover... still sticking with the white base for now.

I use photoshop 7 for photographs with some elements thrown in (not very often) with a few image editing plugins. For the covers though I do these using Ulead's PhotoImpact 10 to design the cover sheets. I started with a version 3 that came with my very first epson printer many year ago. Found the software package to be loaded for just $99 for the latest versions.

Since RDZ has been super busy and unable to do any criterions I had to slap together some of my own again. I use MSPaint (yes i'm serious) and I am very well aware these could be sooooo much better but they work for me and I will gladly replace these when someone makes a better version.

My latest from Nissen, and i have to say he's done me proud yet again. This could rank as the best cover he's done for me. The original poster image he's used was quite dark and miserable - Nissen has brought it to life and in my opinion it better reflects how the actual film looks now. The film itself is not to everyone's taste but there's no denying the beauty of this cover:

[Torrente]

Yes indeed! It's gorgeous!

Your excitement alone has peaked my interest in this film, where as previously I wouldn't have even bothered to look it up since I never heard of it.
