Official Custom SteelBook™ Cover Art Thread - Blu-ray Forum

jamesaevans · 10-19-2009, 10:02 PM

A few days ago I posted a custom steelbook design that I had created from scratch in Photoshop in the Wall.e FutureShop steelbook thread which was very positivly received.

As there is already a very popular Official Custom Cover Art Thread in the main Blu-ray forum I though it would be interesting to create a thread for forum members to show off their custom steelbook covers.

There has been lots of discussion in the Making your own Sticker SteelBook™ cases thread about making you own custom steelbook using stickers which is something I might try, just for personal interest to see how it comes out.

Wow, that's a great idea. Let's start photoshop!

Kynch · 10-19-2009, 10:09 PM

I think the Star Wars and WALL·E ones are fantastic!

I did not read the initial OP and scrolled down to take a look at the covers and my heat stopped when I saw this. I was like I need this now. I thought it was official and they announced it last night or something.
Then I read that this is a custom cover for steels. Hehe.
But that would be awesome if it was real.

I have been in contact with the Spine Art Guru Mr James Evans and he has agreed to help me help our forum members out with English only text for Bilingual and Foreign Blu-ray SteelBooks™ This will include ALL current and future Canadian Steelbooks™. What I ask of our members is if you think you may be first to receive an offending title, scan the spine and PM me. I will give you my email address. Send the scan to me and I will pass it on to James. As soon as the artwork is completed I will email the file back to you first, then make it available to anyone who needs it. I hope that this is clear. James and I are not doing this for money, but we do ask that you bear us in mind should we need a rare or hard to obtain Steelbook™ to buy/ trade. Fair??
James is busy so please bear with us, but it will be done, as I am like you and wish to have English only on my spines.

Many people will remember from last year when James and I provided artwork spines for the"Jumbo's" and also Snow White.

How are you meant to scan a spine when a scanner lid won't even close when a steelbook is laid flat out, let alone on it's spine?

maxbond007 · 10-11-2010, 12:00 PM

Thanks. I will be interested too.

It's as Easy as 1-2-3.
1) Open Steelbook™
2) Place n scanner glass
3) Scan.
Job done. Now, what part confuses you?

Personally billingual spines, rating logos, and writting in any other launguage doesnt bother me.

But this is pretty cool for you guys that I know hate billingual spines! I know there's a lot of you lol
