So, I started looking for decent elements for the fronts and things kept moving and I now have fronts and spines completed for the five Dirty Harry films. Here is a peek at the spines lined up...

I like those spines but I think it would look better with different Eastwood faces on the covers.

Make sure you future-proof it: stick Spidey on the cover rather than Peter Parker.

Deciding on that part of the spine actually took the most time while making these. I tried everal different images and lined up several ones to compare. Finally decided something simple and uniform looked the best for a set.

Maybe I'll mock up something using different images on each spine and get opinions from the group. Usually, art by committee is a bad idea, but, this really isn't "art".

"Nissen" did a terrific looking set (Blu-ray, not DVD, if that's what you meant). PM him and I'm sure he will help you out.

What paper is best to print these? Or is a store I could take the file to and print?

Thanks! I'm trying think of an appropriate tagline. Which sounds better?

"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light"
"the winged bat who flies through the night"

The one you have on the cover sounds nice but seems long in text. Either way, its a custom and still works.

Hahaha!

I added the paper texture and fixed the WB and Bluray logo cover. I'll update it when I'm finished

Zacharygarland · 02-14-2015, 08:56 PM

Cool!!!

Specs on the back aren't finished, but I made a US theatrical cut based off the superior Italian blu-ray transfer — other than a few shots I had to take from the awful MGM 4K remaster (and re-colored the best I could to match the correct Italian version) — and added the US mono audio. Changed a few things on the original US poster art — made the pink a nicer maroon, and changed the white background to a dusty tan, as well as having to shrink and move various things like Clint's name to make it all fit on a more boxy-sized blu cover.

strangerthangs · 02-14-2015, 10:19 PM

gonna start making slipcovers (can also be used as a regular blu ray cover) for movies I own that have pretty standard cases. starting with some tarantino movies. this was a quick one I did and technically my first, so here ya go!!

TheWalkingDead · 02-14-2015, 11:23 PM

I have tried and failed at printing my own. I'm sure I would get it right but ink is expensive. Would setting the paper size to legal and using the blank backside of a existing Bluray cover work? Or does it have to be a legal sized sheet of paper?

Anyone see or working on these would be appreciated..

The Bourne Trilogy (first three films) Viva Elite 3-disc case
Superman Motion Picture Collection (five films 1978-2006) Viva Elite 8-disc case
Lethal Weapon Collection (four films) Viva Elite 5-disc case
A Bronx Tale - Viva Elite single disc case

These two can be combined or separate. Viva Elite single case

Saw a bluray review on youtube I used as a reference for the back. I hope it was the right one!
