Where did you find high resolution art for Razor? I'm looking for that to complete my set of covers.

I really like these.

The only thing I'd like to see is some sort of different front cover art, something more personal.

Love this photo for season 3

Not sure how it would work in your setup, or what would work for the other season. I love the idea of the episode guide on the back, and the spine that shows off the seal and series name.

Thanks for the input, I love the more dramatic artwork that you have presented (as well as some on other BSG designs posted a few replies above) and feel that it works very well for some situations. But overall I have always enjoyed the more simplistic covers and posters. For example the cover on the seven Platinum edition and also some of the original batman posters from the late 80's/early 90's films come to mind as I type this.

I am working on an updated version of my cover and will post it soon, same basic design but I have found a newer high resolution logo and seal that have a bit more depth and color, should have it ready to show in the next day or two.

Thanks for that. That definitely helps. I was hoping something that I wouldn't have to upscale but this may be the best I can get and certainly doens't look bad upscaled a bit. Thanks to that I've got my Razor cover well under way. Having a bit trouble with finding a good Razor logo for the spine since everything is on blue space and my photoshop efforts to remove the blue have been a mediocre job so far. Hopefully will have something up either tonight or tomorrow.

Looks like people have been asking for a Battlestar Galactica Custom Cover. I wanted to share with all of you the set I am making. I have 2 disc cases so the set I am going to picture works for these. Let me know what you think and comments are welcome as this is a work in progress. please note that I do not care about having the cases look store bought (ie specification grids, studio logos, etc), I just want something that looks uniform and identifies it on my shelf correctly.

Great idea. I really like your design here. Simple with some class. It's a lot cheaper to get 2 disk cases than the 6 disk ones that seem to be only available in Australia. I'd be happy with these covers for one of my favorite series.

Here's my prototype for BSG Razor to go along with my Season Set covers. My Season 4 cover will have a variant for those who want to keep Razor within Season 4.

Here is my final case design, I have changed the Logo and Title text files to make them more texturized. The Spine was altered to reflect these changes as well but remains the same when all ten cases are aligned. Still not sure if I should keep the "The Complete Series" Text. The red lines are used as cutting guides.
Enjoy

The final Jpeg files are 4-5MB in size on these covers. Where can i upload the full version and still share it as the full version. Photobucket and Flickr seem to have size limits if you are a free member. I am a bit new to the sharing end and definitly am not going to pay for these sites...can any one clue me in that has more experience.
Thanks!!

Can anyone suggest another site I can use for these that will allow for full files sizes to be shared and just give me some basic pointers on making sure that I am uploading these correctly as well as providing the link correctly.
I used sixpop because I noticed that a few others had linked their photo's with it, not sure what I am doing wrong.

I quote for completeness, and so folks don't have to scroll back up. This works fine for me in Firefox, but IE doesn't want to load the image in the browser when following the link.

Using IE, instead of left-clicking the link as normal, just right click and select "Save Target As" and select a useful spot on your PC. Then you have them downloaded securely anyway, rather than cluttering up your cache.

Probably a IE7/8 "security feature". :mad:

I am still open to any suggestions on this. I will most likely change these when the plan, and hopefully, the face of the enemy webisodes come out.

But either way, I hope this will help everyone out until the larger cases are more readily available. I had a lot of fun and definitly re-learned photoshop on these (use to work in video) since I haven't used photoshop professionally since 2002.

Jordy, thanks for your hard work. Now that I've been able to download your covers, I only have one minor criticism. The edge of the Colonial Shield used on the cover and spine is a little wonky. By using the Elliptical Marquee Tool you can clean it up quite easily if you so desire.

Ok, here is the final set of covers unless someone finds something that needs to be fixed. They are broken down into four sets depending on if you get the 12mm cases which I believe go up to 3 disc cases, or if you get the 14mm 6 disc cases that were bought in the group buy. The 14mm case is slimmer than the Blade Runner/Lost style disc cases so a new set will have to be made to accomodate the wider spine if that is needed. A few minor changes have been made since I last posted any images which include product ID #, some adjustment on where some things are, and changed text for Season 4.

Each set contains all the Seasons, BSG Razor, and the Season 4 variant covers that either mention Razor or doesn't mention it depending on how you want to create your sets. For those who don't want UPCs on their covers, I have made both 12mm and 14mm cases where the UPC is removed and replaced with another scene image.

Please let me know if anything doesn't work or needs to be changed. Hopefully this is the last time I need to spam the thread with images. I have not tested the 14mm covers with an actual case yet since mine haven't arrived but I did apply an extra 2mm to the spine in Photoshop. I have all covers in PSD format and can easily port them to any other image format that may be needed. Covers are at 3184 x 1800 resolution for the 12mm and 3208 x 1800 resolution for the 14mm cases.

Here's the download with the previews below of what they all look like. Each set is a RAR that contains the six covers that apply to which set you get.

14 mm Slim 6 Disc Case Set (http://www.sendspace.com/file/vo1he2)
14 mm Slim 6 Disc Case, No UPC Set (http://www.sendspace.com/file/16l36s)

Here are what the final versions look like. I've only posted the wide versions since they're the same but the spine is just wider than the slim versions.

No prob. Glad you liked them. Thanks for pointing me out to where I could get them hosted. Also if you got them recently, I just put up a fix so you may need to download again. On your Season 4 cover, under Extended Episodes, if it says Island instead of Islanded, you'll need to download again to get that fixed.

I love that people are making custom covers for Battlestar, but I have to ask... why are people making covers that fit the 3, 4, 5, or 6-disc cases when we can't buy those size cases anywhere (except from Australia, for an outrageous cost)?

My set includes covers that fit single cases. 12 mm is the size of a standard bluray case and you can get those in single, double or triple disc cases. Also some people put together a group buy for the slightly bigger 14mm 6 disc cases from Australia so that people could use that. Finally, I got a guy who actually has spare Blade Runner/Lost sized cases and I'm making him a cover set for the larger spine cases. Those are 25mm.

Hey all, haven't shown much in the way of what I've done with my Blu-Series covers in a while, so here is one that I just finished ... i was so happy when I finally picked up a fifth one to make this set work, and I think it worked great, and made more room on my shelf, which is never bad!

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv273/bpmford/DisneyPixarDisplay.png

I may have to make a 'Set 2' one soon when Up, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and Toy Story 1-3 come out (for a six-disc case this time!)

I will have it posted on my site, it fits into the new, smaller, 5D case that Blade Runner comes in. However Monster's Inc most won't have Monster's Inc yet until November, so I anticipate it may be more popular at that time.

An to those waiting on some covers ... I am working on them and will be done shortly, I have about 40 to do right now, plus my life and stuff too. :)

enjoy!

All of a sudden Infraview stopped printing my covers properly. Its cutting off the left side a little bit, a little more than 1/4 is being cut off. I did get a new printer but not sure why this would effect how Infraview. Any ideas?

In the preview section of Infraview its showing it properly but when I print its cutting the left side off a little bit.

This is for Blu-ray covers, correct? If it were DVD covers, I would say each printer can have a slightly larger or smaller printing area.

Are you using 8.5 x 11? Do you have larger paper, to see if it's the paper size with your new printer? Or, maybe your printing size could be adjusted. If it's "letter", change to "A4."

I just started printing covers, and my printer does the same as yours with DVD covers, a little less than 1/4 inch missing. It just barely fits a blu-ray with 8.5 x 11 paper. I'm glad because I bought my photo paper just for a few Blu-rays I wanted.

You could also try undercoverxp, and see if that helps. That's what I use.

Yes Bluray covers. 8.5 x 11 and no I don't have any larger paper.

I'll have to keep banging away on this thing maybe remove and reinstall. Still haven't figured out whats wrong with it.

Well I got it working. I had to add a inch to the top margin which doesn't make any sense. Because it was the left margin that was being cut off. But oh well its printing my covers properly now. And beggars cant be choosers.

*I added a inch to the left margin in attempt to fix it and that should of fixed it. But what did it do it cut off even more of the cover on the left side. Doh weirdo stuff. Then added an inch to the top margin which shouldn't of done anything but move the cover down a bit and what happens, it works.

Yeah I know, that bothers me as well. But I got rid of "the" because of the other films... When I imagine all 3 (and 4) side by side, I think it's better if it reads "Terminator", then "Terminator 2", "Terminator 3", etc... "The" isn't used in the other films. Anyway, I'll add it and there will be 2 options.:)

RE: Terminator 2

You need to replace the "DTS-HD High Resolution" with "DTS-HD Master Audio", as well as annotate the spec to "DTS-HD MA", since DTS-HD could mean either HR or MA.

DTS-HD HR is lossy audio, like Dolby Digital Plus. Some of Lionsgate's early releases used it, like Total Recall and the original version of "Stargate".

My set includes covers that fit single cases. 12 mm is the size of a standard bluray case and you can get those in single, double or triple disc cases. Also some people put together a group buy for the slightly bigger 14mm 6 disc cases from Australia so that people could use that. Finally, I got a guy who actually has spare Blade Runner/Lost sized cases and I'm making him a cover set for the larger spine cases. Those are 25mm.

Hi Darknight,

I love the BSG covers you posted, and was wondering if you could make one last variant of them. I'm the guy with 4 of the Star Trek TOS / Lost seasons 1 & 2 cases (7-discs), and I want to make the covers fit them. I don't know how much work is involved to make that adjustment, but if it's reasonable could you please make that one last set? Thanks for all the work you've put into these.

Also, how do you print these non-standard covers? Underthecoversxp seems to work well for standard Blu-ray cases, but it doesn't seem to do the thicker cases correctly. I downloaded the thicker version of the BSG set that you had posted, and underthecovers printed them at the same size as the normal set (though slightly squished obviously as their is more horizontal resolution in the thicker set).

Just be careful when using this cover that you know who made it and give the proper credit. It was created by dv8pdx, he is a great artist, and is particular about his work. He already stopped using the blu-ray.com site for a while becasue he didn't like that his covers were being claimed elsewhere as other's work.

Not to be mean, just respect dv8's hard work if you use it.

On a different note, just got my copy of Equilibrium from Japan ... loved it, the picture was stellar, and way better than the Canadian or UK version.

Was hoping someone would come along and do a DUAL Cover (single cover for both movies). Really like your design. Any plans for a single cover?

Thanks for your comments. You're right it's PG13. :confused: that's strange on my retail cover it's clearly G... Anyway, I will correct it and post the updated version later today. Thanks for letting me know.

edit I ordered today and they have already shipped, great service so far. They are coming from GA and I am in Michigan, should have these on Thursdsay per fed ex tracking!!

Can anyone point me to templates for 15.8mm and 21.8mm cases. I have been searching and cannot find one and do not want to pay on the cover sites.

If any one can help I'd greatly appreciate it!

I got in on the Vernon Blu Ray cases and ordered my self a 3 Disc case for my "I am Legend" Ultimate collectors set. While I love the holograms and the overall package it did not fit well on my shelf so I made a custom case. As with my simplistic Battlestar Galactica covers that I posted a while back I do not care about this looking store bought, I just wanted something that conveyed the movie to me when I pulled it off the shelf. So here it is, the only studio icons left are the rating and the blu ray logo... this is a work in progress (almost done overall) but if anyone has any ideas how to alter or make it better I'm all ears. If you have a photoshop suggestion please explain the techniques or link to a turtorial as I am decently versed in photoshop but am ALWAYS looking for new tips and tricks...

Love your cover jordy... I like the somber tone... 2 things though: I'd get rid of the font pattern, maybe try to play with the outer glow or drop shadow but careful with that one;). And maybe there's something to do with Smith and his dog, to better match the background, I would pay a visit to the hue/saturation box for example.;) (one last thing, I think the light effect might be too obvious). Anyway, these are just some little suggestions.

I love the Front of the cover, but the golden rule for a POTA cover is never ever put anything that has to do with the "end" of the film on any part of a cover. :)

Does anyone have the scanned single blu-ray covers for the POTA movies or even custom artwork for POTA BD?

I have the box and I'd like to see the movies on my shelf with the rest of my BDs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings all!

After buying LOST SEASON 1 & 2, I was dismayed to find there were no episode guide booklets inside (unlike their DVD counterparts). So I decided to remedy that:

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd55/vicmackey187/season2booklet.png

LOST SEASON 2 CUSTOM EPISODE GUIDE BOOKLET (http://www.mediafire.com/?mi5wyq1muqo)

It's already measured for your 7 Disc Amaray Case and in full print layout. Simply print Page One and Page Two on one sheet, and Three and four on another. Set your printer to landscape, 100%, scale and not FIT TO PAGE. There's a slight grey border around the outside for trimming purposes (cut it where it meets the inner borders.

(After working on my mammoth BATTLESTAR GALACTICA booklet (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=17201405#post17201405) for over three months, this one was a snap, taking me a mere two days!)

I will just have to make another set. Besides, only my favorites have gone and will go into that set:

From Dusk Til' Dawn
Inglorious Basterds
Kill Bill Vol 1&2
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs

I attempted to stay as ahead as possible, I should get a few years without needing another set case (until Tarantino does 6 more great ones!).

Plus, my second Disney*Pixar set has all unreleased titles waiting for movies:

Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Toy Story 1-3
Up

So I think I'm good for now!

Dude.....that Dark Knight cover is f_____g sick. I gotta have it when it's done. My suggestion is less is more. It's a work of art as it is, and the fewer words you can put on the front and back the more impact the pictures have. I'd love to see one with no names on the front and very little on the back.

OK, here are my Battlestar Galactica ones. They are my first covers, and I'm reasonably pleased with them.

I got the idea for the front from dv8pdx's covers over at the Blu-Ray.com forums and managed to track down the same image.

Mine are a little different in that I preferred every season have the same colour cover, and I put Razor in it's own case. Also I included a custom "Face Of The Enemy" disc in the Season 4 Box set.

Some of the text on the back is rather small, but I decided I wanted all the episodes and special features fully listed on the back, and wanted a uniform font size for all seasons.

Once they are printed on quality paper they are quite readable however.

These were designed for the 15mm Viva Elite 4,5, & 6 disc cases; but could be easily made to fit wider multi-disc cases by simply widening the spine.

Below each image is a link to the full size file.

I really like these covers...even though I have enough blank 6 disc cases for these I have to pass as ink is crazy expensive and I already printed custom for 10, 2 disc cases that I made. Regardless thank you for the effort as it is much appreciated.

The spine logos are a too soft... Place them above everything, with 100% normal opacity; I would also increase the input levels a little on the front and spine, maybe something around 10-1.00-222... Again, these are just some suggestions, you decide. I really love your back with the text!:cool:

I have the 7-Disc Star Trek TOS set at home, and have been meaning to scan the cover in order to create a template for Photoshop. I'll try to do this tonight and will either post the template, or at the very least the measurements.

I'm in NZ, so the 7-disc boxes that they come in here are the Viva Elite ones; is this the same where you are from?

I print straight from Photoshop to a Canon printer. As long as you don't select borderless printing (which slightly enlgarges the image),and don't select any options such as "fit to page"; it should come out the correct size. And obviously the printer needs to be set to the same DPI as the image you are printing (I use 300dpi for covers).

Let me know if you want me to post a template.

Yeah the US 7-disc sets are Viva Elites as well, so it should be identical. If you can post the template (and maybe how to use it? I have Photoshop but I'm new to the making covers thing), that would be amazing.

The template will basically just be a blank image with some guidelines on it (the guidelines should automatically show up in Photoshop - but won't print).

The template itself will be slightly larger than the actual size of the cover but the guidelines will show the outside edges of the cover and where the spine is. I also add some guidlines (kind of like cross-hairs) to mark the centre of the front, back, and spine - this helps position text and images.

I don't know if you've used Photoshop much, but if you haven't then the one main thing (in my opinion) is to learn how to use layers.

OK, here is the template (click link below). I have added in some red cutting guides as well for once it's printed. I saved it as JPG to keep the size down, but obviously you will want to save any covers you make for yourself in a lossless format.

Like I said the guidelines will only show up when you open the template in Photoshop.

Also, I haven't tested this template. I would suggest you print a low quality draft of it from Photoshop on plain paper and make sure it fits the cover correctly.

Any cover designers here that would be interested in doing a custom SINGLE cover for a 4 disc case. I would even be very happy with a simple scan of the HD DVD Jack Ryan Collection cover with the Bluray logo swapped out.

Thanks.

Also, I haven't tested this template. I would suggest you print a low quality draft of it from Photoshop on plain paper and make sure it fits the cover correctly.

Thanks for the template! I'll give it a go tomorrow and post results.

Hey man, just as a question. Was Alliance sloppy and butcher these titles like they have in the past with cropped aspect rations and poor transfers? Or do they actually look good.

It's the reason I haven't bought the Final Destination trilogy yet!

Well, I haven't posted a shot of my collection in a while, and it's now perfect. I just finished a chunk of printing and have added the majority of titles I want to eventually have on Blu-Ray to the rest of my collection; some aren't even announced, but I can still hope that they will soon. I love seeing them all up there, but hate not having them...

Among some of my most wanted:

Apollo 13
Alive
The Great Escape
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Team America: World Police

I hope to be set for a while :D

I'm so pleased with vicmackey187's Battlestar booklet that it has inspired me to do my own for Lost, in the same style. I will be using his Battelstar booklet as a base.
I started it last night, but require a bit of help...
I need the details for each disc, such as what episodes are on each one, the audio commentary info and the special features.
I also need high res version of this (http://badroco.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/lost-season-1-poster.jpg) picture for the front cover, if anyone can help.
Lastly I need a good tagline for season 1, at the moment I'm using "48 Survivers... All Are Lost..." if anyone can come up with a better one I'll use that.

So far I've almost finished the page for disc one, once I have the disc contence I'll post that page to give you guys an idea of what I'm going for.
If this works out ok I'll move on to doing one for each of the other seasons.

OK I've just finished my Lost - Season 1 booklet, I've printed it out and I'm very happy with it.
If anyone finds any mistakes or has any suggestions I'm all ears.
Lost - Season One V1.0 (http://rapidshare.com/files/285183711/Complete.pdf)

...And here's Season 2. It's got two versions of sheet 5, Disc 6, I still can't decide which to use.
Lost Season Two V1.0 (http://rapidshare.com/files/285358698/Season_2.pdf)

After looking into Season 3 I have found that the US version is a 6 disc set, with 5 episodes on each disc. The UK version (where I am), due 26th October will be a 7 disc set, so possibly 4 episodes per disc. Therefore I will do Season 4 first, and then come back to Season 3. I may have to create one for the US version and another for the UK.

The booklet for Season One looks pretty dang familiar to me ;). You're welcome!

Working on my own LOST booklets, although they're more duplicates of the original DVD booklets, as opposed to one like this.

Here's what I caught on my first pass. First, run a spell check. There are numerous errors that are easy to fix.


Page 1: There's no BD live content.


Page 2: "Survivors" is mis-spelled.


Page 3 (and beyond): The inner text shadowing/embossing makes it extremely hard to read, especially on the darker pages where it blends into the background. You might want to consider eliminating it, or maybe adding a contrasting drop shadow and/or outer glow that brings out the text a bit more.

Note on my BSG booklet the "Sometimes A Great Notion" and "Revelations" pages -- in each of those I added a outer glow to the text (light for "Sometimes," dark for Revelations") that made the text easier to read against their respective backgrounds.

"Bloopers" is mis-spelled.

Differentiate between the "Exodus"s on the master episode list. Exodus Part 1 is on Disc 6, Exodus Part 2 and Exodus Part 3 are on Disc 7.


Page 5: Add an apostrophe to "survivors" in the Exodus description to make it "survivors' "

The text on the credits page blends in too well with the background. Perhaps use a different color?


Page 6: The punctuation in the third sentence of the "Pilot" description needs to be consistent.

The lower image of Jack and Christian is bleeding off the bottom of the inner border.


Page 7: The lower image of Charlie has a white gap between it and the top of the grey border. (move the image down a notch or two if you still have the original document segmented into layers)


Page 8: "Commentary" in the MOTH entry is mis-spelled, as is Lindelof's name.


Page 9: "Commentary" in the HEARTS AND MINDS entry is mis-spelled.

Eliminate "a" in the phrase "recollection of a others" on the last line of HOMECOMING


Page 10: Adjust curves (to the light side) in the the main image, it's kind of murky even at full monitor brightness.


The picture selection is really good, but once again, the issue is how the text lays on the page on top of it. That's why I picked mostly dark images, or ones where I knew the text would contrast nicely against the background. For instance, on page 8, note how the text fits better against the sky, as opposed to over the sea (especially because there is a line directly over the break between the two. Also, the text justifies around the image you picked doesn't quite work for me (maybe because the top episode description is completely at odds with the others). I also think they butt up too closely to the inner border / Kate's head.)

I also think it might look better if you take out my grey borders. I included them in design-wise to reflect the octagonal paper shape of all the BSG paper documents, but here (with rounded borders) it serves really no design purpose, other than to take away from the main images.


Good luck and I look forward to seeing the changes!

SEASON TWO

Same general issues with text embossing/legibility/page placement. (page 7 and 11 are impossible to read with the inner shadows turned on)

Same general issues with my inner grey border.

I see with this one you used / embellished the descriptions from the Season 2 DVD booklet, which resulted in many, many grammar issues throughout.


Page 1: Still no BD Live.


Page 2: That tagline is from BSG SEASON 4.5, not LOST. I'd suggest putting in the numbers (as seen on the computer monitor) instead.


Page 3: "Live Together, Die Alone" is broken into two separate episodes.


Page 4: There are two (three with the 5A spread) Desmond pictures next to each other. You might want to vary it up.


Page 5(a): The text block is far too close to the rocks.

I think 5B (Kelvin by himself) looks better.


Page 7: Three Michael pictures.


Page 8: "Commentary" is mis-spelled.

Descriptions are too close to inner border.


Page 9: Descriptions are too close to inner border.


Page 10: Add a comma in between "him, he" on the last line of THE LONG CON description.

Eliminate "on" in "she struggles on whether..." , first line of THE WHOLE TRUTH description.

"Commentary" is mis-spelled.

Descriptions are too close to inner border.


Page 11: "Commentary" is mis-spelled.

Descriptions are too close to inner border.

Two Kates, three Charlies.

I also did the Hellboys due to them not looking nice or resembling each other. They are real basic, and the first Hellboy was a pain to find images for:

I didn't see any Rambo 2 or 3 posted anywhere so I decided to create them myself. These are the first covers I've ever done completely by myself and I'm fairly happy with them. I created them with MS Paint, so my options were pretty much limited to cutting and pasting. A LOT of cutting and pasting! I know that they seem pretty basic, but that's they way I wanted to do them. I intentionally left off things like the barcode, critic quotes and the movie synopsis. I realize that my talents are a LONG way off from some of the true masters of this forum and they could use some more touch-ups. Feel free to improve on them if you wish to.

Hello all. I am new to the site (well long time lurker) and I have a couple of questions:

1. I saw mention of printing at Kinko's...I have one right across the street from my house and would like to use it. What do I need to get/know to do this (like paper size, what to tell the people that work there...and such)?

2. Where can I get cases from? I have been able to find some replacement cases for single discs but the larger multi-disc sets like Mad Men, are far more difficult.

3. In reference to my first question, how does it look quality wise? I used to print out covers years ago at home, but was never really pleased with the results.

Thanks in advance for the answers...and kudos to the creators, your art is pretty cool.

lordcloud that's REALLY custom for u lol =). great job guys! keep it up =).

Yeah it is. :) I just love the cover so much, and I think it'd be even better without the actor's names on the front.
