Custom Cover Art Thread

If that's the case just start from scratch and create your own custom cover and include/omit/rearrange whatever you want. You'll have free creative control.

I'm not speaking for all the talented artists in this forum...this is just my own stance. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Art and I enjoy this hobby in my spare time. My covers are designed based first and foremost on what I want them to look like. Then I offer my work to other members of the forum based on its own integrity and merit. If others like it and want to use it for their blu-ray cases, that's great-I'm flattered they like it and I'm happy to share it.

But I refuse to invest hours/days in creating something and hand it over to someone to eviscerate it. Again this is not meant to be rude or condescending.

Thanks for understanding.

No problem and fully understood.

Thank you! Those look great!

Here is my UnderCoverXP setting:

I'm hearing you. Now that I look at mine as compared to yours, I see the edges are, in fact, cut off. I hadn't noticed.

Why the need for legal paper, though? Mine printed on standard 8.5 x 11" paper 150.0 x 278.2 albeit with a very tiny amount cut off. Your printing smaller than that (148 x 276), so why wouldn't 8.5 x 11" paper work?

I really like the HP glossy brochure paper, but I'm having trouble finding it in legal size. Assuming I need it, do you have a recommendation?

EDIT: Additionally, my UnderCover10 has a "spine transformation" setting. Should I be mucking with that?

I'm a few years late on this one, but I'll take a shot. Does anyone happen to have custom covers for Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2? I have the double feature set and while i actually don't mind the artwork, I'd like to use single cases if possible.

Along those same lines... A kind member was willing to send me some excellent "When a Stranger Calls" artwork not long ago, does anyone happen to have a custom of "Happy Birthday to me" as well?

I did separate custom covers for each of the Jeepers Creepers movies a while back. If you want them, PM me.

Im on the hunt for it now too, looks like epson makes a 8.5 x 14 presentation paper. It's sort of low weight, but in a bluray case i don't think that matters very much.

Thanks. That Epson paper (S041067) looks like it will work. On amazon, at least a couple reviewers indicate it works well for "DVD covers".

Thanks for the number. I just placed an order for some myself.

I've been looking for decent legal sized paper for cover printing for a while (for larger DVD and BD covers that don't fit on standard 8.5 X 11 paper).

If this works well, I will no longer have to use my "ghetto" method of splitting applicable covers into two sheets and then attaching them together.

I saw the one with the white background but has anyone else made a cover for the bonus content from the Star Wars set?? Was also thinking of putting each movie into its own case. Found some covers on another sight. Would anyone be willing to make some changes to them??

I want to take the unaltered DVDs and put them in the same case as the blurays.

Has anyone done one for Mad Max Fury Road?

AWESOME JOB Ron!

Are there templates available for download anywhere for creating blu-ray covers? I need to make some covers that fit the Viva Elite 15mm spine 6-disc blu-ray cases, but I've never done this before and a template would be handy to make it easy to size and print the covers.

Undercover 10 has the option of creating new templates. So in theory if you knew the dimensions of the cover you were wanting to create you could create your own template within Undercover 10. If someone could chime in with dimensions you should be golden.

Thanks. I grabbed the software. Is there a way to specify the spine width (15mm)? What is the width of a standard blu-ray spine? Also, what size paper would I use?

Thanks a ton. If I wanted to use the Viva Elite template .psd file, would I need to use Photoshop?

Despite me saying I was quitting on my Force Awakens cover, I still decided to make cover for all 6 of the previous films, and the bonus content, in the style of Nissen's original trilogy covers. I'll post them soon.
