Custom Cover Art Thread

Amazing covers for the Twilight series, they look great! It's an interesting contrast to the book color scheme, which is the same strong red but on a black base.

Do you intend on making Breaking Dawn a multi-disc case, since there are 2 movie parts + bonus discs?

Putting the credits together I realized that "Zeppelin" and "When Eight Bells Toll" share the same director

Speaking of "When Eight Bells Toll":

The fullsize version is available for download under the printable option.

I did the red cases to match the books red pages they used. The red cases are easy to find online without the HD-DVD logo, a 10 pk is $4.99


As for making part 1 & 2, I haven't planned on it yet since really there is only 1 breaking dawn book and the movie is just really 1 movie broken into 2 parts since its too long for one sitting in the theater. It will specify the part 1 and part 2 details on the back. But its an option I can look at for making a case for each. (which in the end I may have to since it will be harder to find a standard sized red case to hold 2 discs without the HD-DVD logo.
Here is a sample of blue case vs red case


the blue case just doesn't have the same pop as the red case.

That is nice take on the Twilight for sure. Love the way the red pops.

Agreed. Great covers otherwise, though.

Good call on the red cases for the Twilight covers dv8!

Anyone know of any custom covers for The Skin I Live In? I like the UK cover, but the US one is pretty bad.

Agreed. I leave all that crap out of my custom covers. I'll usually only include the bluray disc logo, mpaa rating and aspect ratio.

Everybody's opinions are fine, custom means "custom" to each.

I live by the idea that simplicity is an art form.

I do it simply like Illest said, to make it as authentic looking as possible often including the bar code that is scannable for that actual movie (many people don't do this anymore) but this is the way custom covers were when I started years ago and guess Im still old school. I want someone to pick up my cover and think I found some special edition or limited edition the general public couldn't get. Guess you could say, I make my covers to "mimic" a real product. Just like I do for some small studios I work for when making fake soda's, food product containers, magazines and movie posters for backgrounds. Its just ment to fool the eye that its more real than custom to the average person.

How does one submit art for fake criterion?

I made custom covers for Lost. This is what the spanning spine looks like.

Love the title spanning all the discs, but why is the 3 so much larger than the other numbers?

[vidjunkie]

So could someone please, and I mean please, make an alternate cover for Halloween II? I have both the corrected and non corrected but the artwork is exactly the same, I would like to have something different for my corrected version especially showing the new audio track, which is DTS-HD MA 5.1 now instead of the regular DTS 5.1.

Thanks

That is ****ing awesome. I do agree with retablo though about the numbers. I'm not sure why you didn't just keep the same size font as numbers 1 and 2 all the way across.

[akapainkiller]

I didn't mean for the three to be bigger something went goofy with my layer when i went to print it off. This has happened before with another one of my cases where when I went to print it off it changed one of my layers. I'm working on fixing it. Thanks for the likes though
